Come look us up while we're there Dustin. We always aim to please our adoring fans! lol
We'll be glad to host you for a while if you want a team to cheer on as well!

Is it cool if Dustin and I can be adopted for the day?

Go Green!

At the NYC Regional we are encouraging everyone to bring their favorite refillable water bottles instead of the disposable stuff.

My son thank you for saving the polar bears.

Hahaha! Sure... You, Dustin, Danny from 816 as well if he shows up can all be adopted by my team.
Heck, anyone can be part of 237 for a day (or 3)! Why not? lol
We'll have to put you all to work helping us scout though*, so be prepared!

*I'm only half kidding about that helping with the scouting part. lol

Its actually quite close. 10 blocks downtown (about 1/2 mile for those of you not from NY. I am almost positive that there is a public bus that goes from the Javits Center down to Chelsea Piers.

In memory of Tony Paxton, a great champion of FIRST in NYC and a dedicated volunteer at the NJ Regional and NYC Regional, the NYC volunteers are collecting Team T-shirts to make a special quilt in honor of Tony.

If you wish to contribute, please drop your Team T-shirts off with Thea at the PIT Admin Desk and she will sew the shirts together.

The quilt will be presented to the Tony’s family.
