**FIRST EMAIL**/Going Green at the FIRST Robotics Conference in Atlanta

[Mark McLeod]

Greetings Teams:

We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta for a terrific 2009 FIRST Championship! We would like to invite you to make some time on Thursday to attend a presentation by Dan Sitarz as part of the FIRST Robotics Conference. Dan is the author of a book titled “Greening your Business.” Dan has graciously offered his help to FIRST to create a new fundraiser project that will give FRC teams the chance to become Energy Auditors, and hopefully give teams another way to be sustainable from year to year.

Dan will be presenting some training materials and will discuss the initial planning stages of this new project. We hope you can attend and offer input on this exciting fundraising opportunity. Dan will present on Thursday at 11 AM. at the Georgia World Congress Center, room # 204. We are looking forward to seeing you and hearing your thoughts as FIRST prepares to go “Green.”

Go Teams!
