Fund Raising Effort
Clem will draft and distribute for comments a corporate fund-raising letter (DRAFT out Sunday 2-Aug). Once complete, this will provide a consistent template for all corporate contacts. It is expected that all Steering Team members will participate in fund-raising. We should engage Parents, other Mentors and Students as well.
Donations can go through Stem Robotics for tax credit purposes (Stem is a not-for-profit organization). Minimum donation size for this route is $500.
Need Team letterhead. Check Newsletter for currency (think it's okay). Student jobs.
July Activities
As the Agenda indicates, July was an active month for the Team. Some highlights:
- We've gained two FRC students during our outreach events (Kenneth Au & Matt Murphy), along with some Vexsters and Vex Mentors. Kenneth has become a regular at the Summer program meetings
- The Summer Program meetings have developed to twice per week (Tuesday & Wednesday). The Pivot Prototype is mechanically complete. Programming has started.
- Paul Sabatino is returning (both to Downingtown H.S. and our Team). Paul participated in the Upper Uwchlan Block Party. Welcome back!
- We are altogether out of Siri's garage.
