Besides Team 294 (thanks Cheryl) does anyone have a wish list that they have developed over the years? I couldn't find any others in the forum.
Thanks.

I'm going to ask next time my team has a meeting. I know this past season we had a letter asking for two laptops and a digital camera. We were able to secure a grant from the local bank and purchase two new Compaq laptops and a camera. I do know that in the past we would sometimes write letters to certain companys asking if they were looking to get rid of/donate certain equipment we were looking for. If we were looking for machining equipment we would write letters to local machine shops. As one example we were looking for a third Bridgeport miller and the company I work for had upgraded by purchasing a new ProtoTrak miller and put the old Bridgeport aside in storage. I let the team know and they called and also wrote a letter to the company asking if they were willing to donate the machine for a tax write off since the company had no use for it any more. The machine was placed in the school's machine shop to the delight of the teacher. It was a win, win, win situation. The best thing to do is write letters and also let everyone involved with the team know, you never know who has connections.
Jenny, if I do get a copy of the letter/wish list of donations I'll send it to you. I'll also thank you again for the other letter.
This reminds me a lot of how millennials are regularly called out for simply being younger and having different perspectives. In the end it's the ones who are calling them out in unprofessional in ways that end up embarrassing themselves and looking uninformed. - Karthik [more]
