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.
