[Libby K]

16 days!

The planning committee for Monty Madness is working very hard to make this another great event. We actually just got out of another meeting and I found out about some things that will knock your socks off! I have to wait just a little bit longer before I can officially announce it, but I guarantee you the things we have in store won't be things you want to miss.

Also, we have a large number of volunteers but we do need more! We are close to the amount that we had last year, but we are still a little short. Remember, if you volunteer you get a VERY nice volunteer IZOD polo shirt (generously donated by PVH). We will not be accepting walk-in volunteers. If you do wish to volunteer, you must do so on the the Monty Madness website (www.montymadness.org) at least 48 hours prior to the event.

Also, if your team has extra Blue Tubes, Red Tubes, Blue Keepers, Red Keepers, or Black Spoilers, we are in need of them!!! FIRST gave away all of the tubes in Atlanta, so we are in desperate need of them! If you have any that you are willing to loan to us, we would very much appreciate it! Please PM me with any information/comments. Thanks!

Are you ready for the Madness?... We'll see you in 16 days.

I have two keepers that I used for decoration, I'll be happy to donate them to a good cause (I just want them back if they aren't totally gone )

I hope this year you guys might think about making opening ceramonies shorter with more play time, I really would like to have lunch this year.

So did FIRST think they had more tubes than they actually did? Or did they not remember the fact that off-seasons need the tubes as well?

I'm not sure, but yesterday FIRST informed us that we wouldn't be receiving any tubes with the field. When I heard this, I had flash backs to Atlanta when people were jumping the barrier to get the free tubes that they were giving out after the final matches on Einstein. We are currently working with PARC to fix the problem because they too are affected by this. Thanks for everyone's help and support!

You gotta buy the tubes aroon...it sucks but FIRST for some reason wants us to buy them. You have until the 15th to place an order for the tubes before they liquidate their inventory.

We are purchasing enough tubes to get through 4 events...beantown, battlecry, river rage and another one i cant remember at the moment.

103 has a few extra tubes hanging around that we'll bring with us to Monty

[Athleticgirl389]

I'll check with some 102 members when I get back to Jersey [currently in Richmond for the NASCAR events haha] and I'll see what I can gather up

[Jay Trzaskos]

David, do you have a tentative date for volunteer assignments to be handed out?

[BandChick]

I'll check to see what 1089 has laying around as far as tubes go. I know we have at least 5. =)

By Saturday - we're waiting for a few more volunteers before getting it wrapped up.
