Anyone recived their FIRST-SME cards yet?
Anyone know when we are supposted to get them?
I never got mine last year, not even late did it come.

Good question. I registered long enough ago to even get to vote on what the card looks like. Stoopid voting. Ugly card.

What does it look like?

AdamT · January 30, 2002, 5:27pm

It’s the attachment…

Really, it’s kinda cool, just not as cool as some of the ones you could have voted on.

Oh, and here’s why we haven’t gotten them yet:

“2002 FIRST-SME Partnership card; it will be mailed to all participants starting in February. If you register after February 1st, your card should be mailed to you approximately three weeks after you complete your registration.”

Silly me…

Oh, if you haven’t registered, do:

So uh, which card did you vote for?

AdamT · January 30, 2002, 10:28pm

I don’t remember, they don’t show up for me any more…

Wetzel · January 30, 2002, 11:28pm

I just know that they didn’t choose the one I voted for…
Oh well:rolleyes:

OtakuRob · January 30, 2002, 11:56pm

Uggh… Not the one I wanted… too bad… I don’t know why this card was chosen, but oh well… Just have to deal…

I have such a bad memory, but I think it was either of the ones you two said, or this one:

The really simple one.

I voted for number 5, the winning design. I liked it and I knew it would win so I voted for it.

Wetzel · February 16, 2002, 10:12pm

Febuary 16th, no cards yet to any memberes of my team.

Katie_Reynolds · February 17, 2002, 1:57am

No cards to our team either… :::cries::: - what is it with things being shipped late? First there was our Shipped to Teams stuff, then our SME Cards and I ordered things from Newark, Anderson Power Products AND Innovation First last Wednesday… for standard overnight shipping… AND THEY STILL HAVEN’T COME!!! :::cries again::: :rolleyes:

Well the catch is - they aren’t late yet. SME posted on their site that they wouldn’t even be starting the mailing until February 1st, and there’s no end date - so unless you get to Nationals without one, then it’s really not late.

That said… SME has always been a tad… slow… at mailing those things out. I’m not sure if it’s the printer, or how they are collecting data - or if they are simply trying to save labor costs by hopefully getting all the registrations out of the way before mailing (I used to work in the mailroom of State Street Bank, so I know more of my fair share in that one… shudders)

I’m disappointed in the design… I thought some of the others were much nicer, and much less cluttered looking so that you could (god forbid) actually READ someone’s name on it… but then, that’s just my opinion… :rolleyes: But eh… I signed up on the first day you could anyway
