UFH: Lucia Sevcik

[Arefin Bari]

"My favorite FIRST memory is when a fellow mentor and I met with FIRST New Hampshire folks at the National competition in 1999. The purpose of the meeting was to start a regional event in Houston. There was a regional event in Houston in 1998 but this event didn’t return to Houston in 1999 due to lack of funding. Houston teams did not have a close place to compete. We volunteered to take on the task of fundraising and organizing a Houston regional. We did this as volunteers. In those days, FIRST events were run by FIRST staff from New Hampshire. As a result of hard work, perseverance and great volunteer support a successful Lone Star Regional was held in 2000. Thus my career as a volunteer regional director was born and continues to this day."

Way go to Mrs. Sevcik. Congratulation on your success and all your accomplishments. Mentors like you realizes what the true meaning of FIRST is. Thanks for all you have done and Congratulations. You truly deserved it.
