College get together at Championship

[Greg Needel]

i'll be there....just let us know what the details are

[R2K2D2]

I would love to be there, and I'm sure a bunch of the other college mentors from Team 461 would be interested also. Honestly, I don't really know any of the other college mentors on other teams, so this would be great, keep us posted!

Assuming transportation is not an issue, I can probably get away from my team for a while.

That's what I was looking for. I'm at the embassy so if I can catch a ride from someone there are pass it by my team I'm in.

What about the MARTA system, surely it cant be as complicated as lets says, the Boston or New York Subway systems. Most likely everybody has a bus stop somewhere near there hotel why not decide on a place and then just go there.

Or..

We meet somewhere out side the pits after everything has been shut down for the night and take the bus in big groups to where ever we decide on going.

Almost Christine was there, but it was Vicki who was called up on the phone by the Comedians... I recall they asked her her name, and "Is there anybody special in your life?" I was sitting next to her and she replied, "My parents" Interestingly, now we have been dating for over a year (but not at the time).

Although 639 qualified for nationals at the Canadian Regional this past weekend, we will not be attending. We were given basically one business day by FIRST to register for Nationals and that is not enough time. They really ought to space out nationals from regionals if they are going to use regionals as qualifiers. But that's for another thread So I wish I could be at nationals, but can't make it this year. Hope you all have a lot of great fun!!

Sounds like fun, count me in.

ok, i figure that most of the college students have or will read this thread, so here's where i'm postin' the stuff. i want to have a DOX get-together either the same day or the day after of the college student get-together. tell me which you prefer.

I'm giving out homework as co-founder! bring a list of things you'd like to see happen and progress with this Fraternity. list ways you think the fraternity can grow, be publicized, structured, etc. you don't even have to talk in our "meeting" about them if you want, just toss me a list and i'll review and type everything onto CD when i get home from atlanta.

Also, I want to order shirts. Please decide ASAP if you want one. the deadline is Monday April 19th, RIGHT after nationals. If you are going to be at nationals and you want one, tell me. I'm ordering sewn-lettered shirts (see my who am i) AND screenprinted shirts (see swadan's avatar) most likely.

If you want a shirt you need to tell me the following:
sewn on letters (my who am i photo)
*what color t-shirt
*what color letters (you can also choose a pattern from here scroll down under sewn-on letters and look for the patterns link)
*what color border (if any)
*what size
*how many

screen-printed (swadan's avatar - no green bkgd)
*what color t-shirt
*what size
*how many

ok, email! or in person! ready go! SEE YOU IN ATLANTA!

I'm going to cross-post this in the FIRST Fraternity thread to, so don't waste your time re-reading it!

That's almost the whole story Pat. I seem to remember that when they asked "Is there anybody special in your life?" she turned and loooked at you first, and then said "My parents."

That outing is one of my favorite FIRST memories. Just to be able to see everyone at once is amazing.

By the way, here's some pictures I dug up from that year...including my obligatory "weird picture of Pat", of which I have a few.

Thanks Sara!

Ok, I think someone need to be incharge of being the contact person. My experience is, everyone start to wander all over the place soon as we stop having access to the internet.

There need to be a gathering point, someone with all the phone numbers, etc, who can pull the group toward him/her. We should do that by setting up a meeting place Thursday evening, and give all our cell phone number to someone. I think that person can print out paper copies of this "roaster" with all our names, team number, cell phone numbers, and hotel names on it. Than we can keep in touch with each other with that roaster.

Any volunteers?

Alright all,

I am still struggling to find a place downtown that will allow me to get a reservation without a deposit. For now, let's all meet in the CNN center food court on Friday at 7:00 PM (sound like a good time?). I will continue looking for a place we can easily get to from there and let you all know. Sorry about the delay in getting this info out, it's not easy to find a place for a large group .
