Here is the 2012 Coach/Mentor appreciation pin from FIRST.
It’s sent to all mentors registered with a team in TIMS.
We get a Certificate of Appreciation, too.
This is awesome! Although none of our mentors got them this year and were registered. When did you receive yours?
My wife and I got ours in the mail yesterday.
Ok thanks! I will be eagerly checking my mail in the next week. I look forward to getting my pin every year. 
Yesterday! A little room left on the vest.
Mine came in the mail yesterday. I’ll be wearing it while I volunteer at the Alamo on Thursday. Then, its going to travel to Bayou! Woohoo!

I must not have been a Good mentor this year. I got the Certificate but no pin. I am now a sad panda. 
Mine wasn’t in the white envelope that the certificate was in. It was in the large manila envelope and I had to dig around a bit to find it.

If it wasn’t in the envelope send them an email. I will pm where.
Just opened mine.
no larger envelope, just the white one. emailing the contact now. thanks for the info!
I have discovered that only one of our mentors got a pin.
I got a manila envelope yesterday with a certificate and a pin. My husband got a white envelope with a certificate and no pin. Interesting…
It was even lined with bubble wrap.

I got a 2012 certificate and pin at school – frc team address. At home I got a 2011 certificate and no pin. I help mentor a new ftc team at my daughter’s school – that might be what that is for. Both just say FIRST neither says FRC or FTC.
Mine came today ,will wear it at LA , Seattle and in Vegas.
Love it! Right into my collection!
I didn’t get my pin and this makes me a saaaad panda…
is there anything I can do to see if I can get one.
I’m not sure on the requirements to get one, I’m a new mentor this year and would like to receive a pin to add to all my other pins.
I also did not get a pin or certificate. This is my first year as a mentor.
Was everybody’s pin and certificate sent to the school, or did people receive them at their home address?
Mine came last Friday. Seems like they are spreading the sending of these out over quite a long time.
