National Towel Amnesty Day

[Travis Hoffman]

I would like to direct the ChiefDelphi community's attention to www.holiday-inn.com/towels. Holiday Inn has declared Thursday August 28th National Towel Amnesty Day. Yes, Holiday Inn is magnanimous enough to forgive all of us for every towel we've ever taken from their hotels. In addition, for every story of a towel's theft and subsequent use submitted to their website, they will donate $1.00 to a children's charity called Give Kids the World. Here is where we as individual members of the FIRST community can each take a couple minutes to contribute to this worthy cause. I am positive that throughout the history of this great program, countless members of teams everywhere have "permanently borrowed" towels from hotels to use at the competitions (or for some other crazy purpose dreamed up by a bunch of kids and/or mentors hopped up on coffee and Mountain Dew at 2:00 in the morning). Whether you've stayed at a Holiday Inn or not, I think the world is waiting to hear what you've done with all those towels! I urge every towel-stealing member of the FIRST community to go to the Holiday Inn website, confess your stealing ways, and cleanse your guilty consciences. DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN!
