A NOTE from KC STEM. HELLO FRC Coaches and Teams! As our FRC season is getting underway, I want to let you know about a few exciting developments here in Kansas City. Please forward this newsletter to other team coaches, mentors and parents on your team. You Are Invited to FIRST LOOK 2014! As I hope you have heard by now, you are invited to meet, in person, the new President of US FIRST, Don Bossi, at our FIRST LOOK Party. This party is for your entire team, mentors, parents, teachers, and volunteers. Come out and see our new KC Regional Tournament venue. Doors open at 4:00 on Friday, November 8th. We will have food, tours, workshops, and last but not least, pit selection. Take part in a bingo-style drawing to select your pit for the Regional Tournament. You will want to bring the whole team to make the selection or at a minimum, a team representative. Out-of-town teams, please reply and we will make accommodations for your pit selection that best suits your needs. Please RSVP with the number attending.
