Go to Post In 2001 instead of staring at the field at the game I turned around and watched the people watch the field. All I could see was a mass of people from all corners of the world, eyes lit up, gears turning in their heads. That, to me, is FIRST in action. - Jessica Boucher [more]

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Senior Mentor Conference Call Monday, September 20th

I just listened to the first 55 minutes while writing my mass media paper and they talked about (in no particular order):
- Introduction of everyone
- Vex kits won't be used in FTC in couple years (don't invest in bunch of them)
- Presentations to Companies
- Send letters to everyone even if you get a lot of rejected and keep hitting them year after year
- Send thank you to your sponsors (Include t-shirts as gifts)
- Catapults are good way to get cable and news channels to events (can launch eggs, pumpkins, extra fruit cake from Christmas)
- Send "pit passes" to sponsors so they feel special and it will invite them more to actually come and interact with the team when they attend competition
- Do press releases even if they are short
- Have a website and make sure you sponsors are all over it
- Include your website in all publications
- When attending competitions have a parents/interested persons list so you can sent updates Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night

I will listen to the other half (was a 2 hour talk) this afternoon.

Note: I did write this list after listening so I forgot/didn't include much of it. I will when I listen to the second half take notes as listening
