Subject: FIRST Robotics Volunteers Needed

Greetings All:

I am writing to solicit your help in making a difference in the future of our region and our economy. As many of you know, I am involved in the regional FIRST Robotics’ (http://www.usfirst.org/ ) efforts to stimulate our youth to get interested in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Through robotics, we believe that we can make science, technology, engineering and math fun and exciting. By hosting competitions and celebrations, FIRST aspires to achieve its goal outlined in its acronym “For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology.” You can help us achieve this goal by becoming a volunteer at any number of our competitions.

Over the last five years, FIRST has expanded exponentially in our region leading to a demand for more competitions and tournaments. This demand is outstripping our ability to staff and run these events. If you are interested in helping us meet this demand, you can help by visiting our local website http://stlfirst.org/ and signing up to be a volunteer. I am involved in the FTC program of FIRST.

If you are interested, please visit this link to sign up and become a part of something that I think is truly amazing for our youth and community. Sign up for FTC program events can be found at http://stlfirst.org/GetInvolved/EventVolunteers/FTCVolunteers/tabid/255/Default.aspx. Click Here

Thanks,
Craig
