--UPDATE--

The Boilermaker Regional was a very successful event for the license plate project. So far, we've acquired about 400 of the 500 minimum signatures; we've also raised over $200 of the $6,000 needed.

MANY MANY THANKS to Ms. Amanda Morrison, the peerless emcee who championed our cause and mentioned it several times throughout the weekend.

We were also fortunate enough to receive the Judges Award on Saturday.
While we've come a long way, there's still work to be done. We've got a couple fundraising ideas to implement to raise the rest of the money, and we do need more signatures on our petition from Indiana residents who intend to purchase the plate when it is available in 2009. If any of you would like to help, please PM or email me. All funds raised from plate sales will benefit all Indiana FIRST programs.
Thanks again to the great BMR participants and the FIRST community for your support.

--UPDATE--

I have recently been contacted by the Indiana BMV Commissioner, Mr. Ron Stiver. He told me that our application for a Specialty Recognition Plate had been received and reviewed. He said he was impressed with the design of the plate, and our application was complete and exemplary.
He also told me there are currently 70 SRPs offered in Indiana, and there were eighteen new entries this year. Due to several circumstances beyond our, and his, control, the state will not be able to offer the FRC plate in 2009.

Mr. Stiver was rather complimentary of our efforts, and repeated several times that this experience should not deter us from reapplying for a plate in 2010. To all of you who helped through signing petitions or giving donations, you have our sincere gratitude. Any personal checks will be returned. Look for the CyberCards to bounce back next year when we will make the FRC plates a reality.

If any other teams have plans to implement a license plate in a different state, we'd be happy to help any way we can. From what the commissioner said, we did everything right - it just wasn't in the Cards this year.
