 Earlier this week it took me a little bit too long to realize that the reason my pen wasn't writing correctly was that it was actually a screwdriver. I'm going to have to ask for a few nights of honest sleep before signing off on a report. - EricVanWyk [more] |

"These Hard Times"?
Today members on my team and I called a lot of local companies and corps. asking to talk to their community relations manager or department; however, we were met by an overwhelming "not interested" or "business has been terrible, we can't donate money at this time". Are other teams running into similar problems?
Is my approach wrong? I'm not here to gripe about how expensive FIRST is or anything I'm just here because Im curious if other teams are experiencing similar roadblocks, and whether they've figured out a more effective method to approaching corporations. You're feedback and thoughts on this are appreciated. Our team has a few months to raise 6k because in order to apply for the 2nd year grant from NASA, they need to see you've raised 6k from corporate or community grants.( If I am not mistaken...) Im located in Central NJ, by the way Thanks
