Congratulations Team 341, Miss Daisy, on the 2010 Chairman's Award

[AnibaS]

It was great working with Daisy at the NYC Regional this year! They are such an inspiring team, and 2265 was more than overjoyed when they received the Chairmans award! They more than deserved it!

Congratulations Daisy!!!

I don't think anyone was surprised when John Abele started to put flower related words into his sentences. It's been a long time coming and you guys really earned it.

Congratulations to all of your great members.

Congratulations to all of you! It's long overdue!

Your team does an awesome job in so many areas!

[Jared Russell]

Thank you, all, for your kind words! The reality of what happened this weekend is still sinking in, and I don't think that we will fully grasp the gravity of it all for some time. We look forward to the new challenge of being a Hall of Fame team - to the new opportunities it will give us, and to the challenge of being an ambassador for all of FIRST.

There are so many people we need to thank. First and foremost, although the 2010 incarnation of Miss Daisy was the one that got to sit behind Dean, Woody, John, and Paul, this award belongs to every student, mentor, and parent who has ever been a part of our team. We were not sitting on bleachers; we truly were "standing on the shoulders of giants".

Likewise, this award belongs to all of the awesome teams and individuals that have mentored us over the years. We would not be the team we are today without the constant support of teams like 103, 272, and 365 and individuals like Dave and Cathy Beck, Frank Larkin, and John Larock.

This award also belongs to all of the awesome teams that have let us help to mentor them! Your achievements are extraordinary, and your successes constantly inspire us to continue to mentor others year after year.

This award belongs to the entire Philadelphia/Mid-Atlantic Region! Thanks to the unwavering support from our Regional Directors Carol Kaufmann and soon Don Bauer, and from our senior mentors Rich Kressly and Nathan Knauss. We are proud to bring the clock back to Philadelphia!

Congratulations team 341. I remember when I was in high school on 1002, we gained a lot of inspiration from things that you were doing then which in effect helped us win our 3 chairmans awards and 2 engineering inspiration awards on the regional level.
And even now you have continued to inspire me and in effect inspired the team I started in 2415 which won its first chairmans award because of yall.
You have truly been a role model team for me and the teams that I have worked with.

I don't think I've been so excited for any Chairman's award winner in my 5 years in FIRST, and I don't think I've seen a team so deserving. I know I congratulated you all in person, and I'll probably do it again, but congrats on bringing another one home to the mid-Atlantic area.

About time.

I love this team. 341, 365, and 103 have all been constant reminders to me of what types of teams in the Mid-Atlantic succeed in FRC, both on and off the field.

Thank you Daisy for being a true role model team for me.

[Mr MOE]

To all current, past, (and future) team members of 341.

Simply awesome!

These are words that describe what you have done, what you continue to do, and what MOE 365 felt when John Abele announced that you had finally done it!

Congratulations from all your friends on current and past Miracle Workerz teams. We are truly blessed to be in a region where so many teams inspire in so many ways.

Our team members couldn't jump any higher when the news was finally announced. Since you were sitting in the Dome balcony nosebleed section , there was probably a few second delay by the time you heard the news compared to those of us closer to the field. Even though you all had a long walk to the field podium area, it was great that we had a chance to congratulate your team as you walked down through the stands.

Enjoy the recognition! You truly deserve it! It will be a pleasure to have FLOWER POWER in the Hall of Fame!

[Jon236]

Congratulations 341! You've been a team that the Ticks always looked up to....now you'll be next to us next year in St. Louis!

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Congratulations Miss Daisy!
You have been an asset to our organization for a long time. Welcome to the Hall of Fame.

[Rich Kressly]

When I dare to think about each year of my decade in FIRST, I think about the many past and present influential mentors and students who have been a part of 341. Some have gone on to do great things with other teams, others have contributed mightily to the Philly area and other regions, some have remained, some have returned home to the garden. In the end it's the people, not the things, that make FIRST go, and you all deserve a huge piece of this tremendous accomplishment - enjoy it and congratulations.

[Cynette]

Congratulations Miss Daisy! You truly exemplify all that a Chairman's Team could ever aspire to be! And as many have said - it's about time you received this recognition!

Is there any way to watch the presentation (and did they make a video of 341 like they did for the Techno Ticks last year?). I'd love to see either of those two things.

We will probably put our Chairman's video on YouTube sometime soon. Our students worked very, very hard on it, so we showed it during our Chairman's presentation.

Congrats to 341 on their long overdue Chairman's.
