White House for Chairman's Award Winners?

It would be great and appropriate for FIRST to work to arrange that every Championship Chairman's Award winner gets a trip to the White House. I also know that the planets need to be in the right alignment for it to happen. MOE was lucky the year we won as the alignment was right.

Hopefully, it will happen again.

John said it best in terms of the planets lining up. 365 is the only CA team to visit the White House since I became involved in 2001. Other years there have been other special activities for the winners. For example, in 2003 when I was with Team 103 there was a CA gathering at NH HQ and Dean's house, but again a few planets had to line up for even that to happen.
