Championship Thanks and Final Thoughts

[The First Lady]

I would like to thank all the teams for making our cueing job fun!!!!!!!!!!! You were awsome and maked sure things ran smoothly. I would also like to thank all the teams for bring us presents. We couldn't get to the pits and you brought the pits to us. We wore your buttons and give-aways proudly. Thanks to Dave, Tom, Frank, Matt, John, Dwane, Nancy, Gene, and Jim for making such a great cueing team on the floor and in the pits. I had a blast and hope to see you all next year.

Just a general thanks to Team 45 for the TechnoKat playing cards they gave out in Atlanta. Rob and I went around on Friday and asked some FIRSTers to sign the cards. Some examples of the signatures we receieved include: Dean, Woody, Dave Lavery, Aidan Browne, JVN, Andy Baker, Ken Patton, Bill and Brian Beatty, Mike and Brandon Martus, Liz Calef, JVN, D@ve, and many, many more. Only a few cards are left over that went unsigned; after we get a complete set then we will probably frame them or something of that nature. Until then over the next few days we hope to post a few pictures of them, so keep a sharp lookout!!!

Thanks to Team 782 -Kilowatts and Team 341 -Miss Daisy for inviting us to play in the Galileo finals! It took the National Finalists to beat us!

Congratulations to Miss Daisy for your Honorable Mention as Chairman's Award Finalists! You run a consistently great educational and out-reach program.

Congratulations to MOE for your well earned Imagery Award. Your spirit and GP are a huge presence (and you're hard to miss in those fluorescent green shirts ). Hey, my computer is acting up why do you think that is?
