Is anyone else NOT going to Nationals

[Kristina]

691 is in the same boat as your team Alex, 3rd year team so it's tough to get money. Although I'm not officially on the team anymore, I've been told that we decided to forgo nationals this year because going to two regionals would allow more people to travel and make the most out of the FIRST experience. I think it was the same as last year, we qualified through points but chose not go unless we won a regional and then fundraised all the money to pay for our expenses. I think it was hard for some people to accept but it shows the lesson of hardwork. As for fundraising ideas, there's a ton of great ones in the fundraising forum but if anyone wants more or specifics, feel free to get a hold of me.
