I think that ultimately whatever these adds or spokes people say you need to come away from the 30second spot having some reasonable
clue about what FIRST is. It would be great if FIRST got publicity...believe me when I say it would definetly be cool to see a FIRST
commerical running (during the superbowl....hehehe well maybe we're not there yet I've always been partial to 'FIRST....I love this
game.' But I think that has been used somewhere before....oh well. In anycase my point is that if we just have a commerical saying
hey...support FIRST because I do and I'm a celebrity...well if ppl support someting because they seem someone famous...well I
suppose money is money....but FIRST is about more than that and it always has been....FIRST is about turing people on to this whole
engineering thing....that's what our message needs to be....the commercials need to show FIRST's mission.....and obviously the excitement
of the comps. as well

Just some personal thoughts....
