the thing is we have already dealt with a lot of this stuff. given we have gotten more press this year than any other, it hasnt done much for us..... also the chamber of commerce has been contaced and nothing has come from that so far, except small donations..... we tried to contact a congressman through Dean, that never worked out either
there are numerous parents involved with this, everyone is pulling every string they can reach..... this is the seventh year we have been trying
despite the press i think the biggest problem is that nobody has heard about it.... after we came back from nationals our local paper did publish us, but they didnt think all our awards were worthy of anything more than a small box in the back of the paper.... i called them to talk about that and they stood by thier decision
hopefully that zoog movie scheduled to come out will shine some more light on FIRST and we might be able to get some recognition then
