senior of 2006 r we ready?

On 294, we face a different challenge for the class of 2006. 75% of our team is in the class of '06 and we need to recruit like mad in order for the team to survive. We do have some plans, but we need to pull something major together in a hurry in order to make the team be self-sustaining again.

We're kinda in the same pinch here :-/

The good news is that next year will be the first full year that the freshmen are at the same school as the rest of the students (Previously our school system was K-6, 7-9, 10-12 but is now K-6, 7-8, 9-12), and every september there is a big "Club day" where all of the clubs set up displays. I'm going to try to arrange to have our robots of past there . Hopefully we can lure in some newbies.

If I haven't been ready, I won't be ready now. This past year, being the only student leader (who happened to be on the Commuications/Pins and Apparel/Chairman's Award team), not only did nothing get accomplished that I would have liked to seen accomplished, but I was promptly ignored by both teachers when I suggested new ways of getting people involved with the robotics program and promoting the team in the school.
No offense to any of the adult leaders or team members, but most people are afraid to have things change... even so much as a team name. It's taken me three years to get RoboDutch to catch on.
I don't know why any of my other ideas aren't catching on. They keep on telling me I'm the one that's going to change Team Spirit, and nothing gets done with the suggestions I give them.

*leaves the pulpit*

Hopefully this year won't be as difficult. I would like my senior year to be better than the past three.
