a club for college FIRST-a-holics

[Ken Leung]

I am glad tons of people are interested . Let's figure something out after the regionals are over.

[Greg Needel]

I was just curious how many people who want to join will be at nationals cause we should plan meet up or something

[Matt Leese]

For the past two years, we've had a meet-up of college students. I organized it the first year and Christina organized it the second year. Given she won't be at nationals, I suppose it's up to me to organize it again this year. What we normally did was go to Pleasure Island for the night. Given that we're not at Disney World, this makes it rather hard. So if anyone has any ideas of what to do in Houston for a group of college students at night, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ken.. I'm in! Let's plan a meeting for all interested in this to occur during Nats. Maybe during lunch one day??

Hehehehe... Yeah college night on Pleasure Island.. Ahhh.. good times!! The memories.. or lack there of.

I think we need to talk with someone who actually lives in or near Houston for this event to be successful this year. I have no idea where we could go nor do I want to guess. We need an insider.. Any takers???

I am pretty sure I won't be free during any of the lunches, so how about making the meeting the night of meet-up? Or you could do it without me ;P.

[DaveO'B365]

sorry, i dunno if it really matters, but i'm not gonna be at nats, it's expensive, and i have classes that i don't want to fail. i dunno how many of the other alumni are not going to nats, but i wish i could

Ok. Just want to bring this thread up, and see if any of the up-coming-college-FIRST-a-holics are interested in joining this.

Also, most importantly, I am looking for a webmaster willing to do some work for this. I have been talking to Sunny about it, but he seems to be pretty busy already.

[Jeff Waegelin]

I'd be interested in joining.

[Ashley Weed]

as a new college FIRST-aholic I would deff. like to stay in touch with the world... keep me updated on what becomes of a 'college-network'

[JasonStern]

Sounds good! I'm in, if I count since I only started in college.........

[Freddy Schurr]

I knew this is an old thread, but is it still happening, because I would like to join

[Leon Machado IV]

I'm curious if college alumni can join up? I'm graduated and basically have no involvement anymore.

Instead of burdening Brandon Martus further, or until someone can make an individual website, I can help out with this.

The CollegiateFIRST.org website is currently looking for information about students to post underneath the colleges involved in FIRST. We can later expand this further, but for the time being, if your college has a team, we can put your contact information in the general field of the college.

If you are interested, please PM or email (ammorrison at gmail) me the following:
Your name, first and last
Your year in school (Junior, etc.)
Your expected graduation year
Your major and minor, if any
An email you'd like to be contacted at
An instant messenger name (AOL only please), if you'd like to be contacted

That's the best I can do for now. Perhaps I can rope my trusty webmasters Jtosh and David into helping me create, support, and maintain an individual website.

Thanks,
Amanda

Well this sounds like a very interesting idea.

And maybe in the next few months another FIRST related website will emerge into the world and maybe it will have to do with college age FIRST-A-Holics...we'll see
