this is the email I sent to team leaders last week:
Congratulations!
You’re team has been chosen for the Beantown Blitz!!
You’re team has been selected to be on the Blitz Priority Registration list. Only 20% of all FIRST teams were given this honor by the Beantown Blitz event committee. You should feel proud… because selections were based on your team’s success during the 2003 FIRST Competition season, team location, and your team’s past history and successes.
GET PUMPED FOR THE MOST COMPETITIVE OFFSEASON EVENT OF THE SUMMER!!
The Beantown Blitz will be held August 16, 2003 in Matthews Arena, the hockey arena on the Northeastern University campus in Boston, MA.
Registration for teams on the Priority Registration list opens via email [email protected] on June 16th, 2003 at 8:00 am. Please include team number and main contact information (name, email, phone #), and a sentence that your team wishes to be registered for the Beantown Blitz. Be poised at your keyboards, because the first 36 emails in my inbox will be accepted!
Registration fee is $300 and must be mailed in by June 30th. More information will be sent in an email confirming that your team has been registered for the event.
Good Luck and GET READY!
Registration opens June 16th… 8:00 a.m.
