.Veteran’s Meeting Tomorrow

HYPER Handbook
Here is this year’s HYPER Handbook. As a member of our team, you are responsible for reading it and understanding its contents. If you have any questions about its contents, be sure to ask a mentor.
NEW LOCATION: Tuesday/Wednesday Meetings
Due to ongoing issues within QPS schools and the church, we are moving our location for Tuesday and Wednesday’s meetings. The new location is now the Quincy High School cafeteria. So:
- Tuesday, 3:30 to 5:30 at Quincy High
- Wednesday, 5 to 8 at Quincy High
If you come in the front door (Coddington Street side) of QHS the cafeteria is immediately to your left as you enter. If you come in the back door, continue straight and a little left past the gym and you will get there.
Be sure you have read the rules and are ready to brainstorm both strategy and design as that will be the focal point of the meetings.
Look forward to seeing you tomorrow,
Mr. Gendron

Canning Information
Before you go out canning on Thursday/Friday, I just wanted to share some details of how this process works:
Before Canning
- Sign up for times on the sign up sheet. If you would like to, you may now sign up for more that your original two hour shift.
- Get official cans from Robotics. If you do not have cans, you must come to tonight’s meeting to pick them up! The cans have the official license from the city on them.
While Canning
- Wear a smile and a good attitude.
- Be ready to explain what our team is and what it does.
- IF you have team gear, wear it!
- Make sure you are there for your shift.
After Canning
- Do NOT open your cans.
- Keep your cans someplace safe and return them to Robotics as soon as possible.
- A mentor will count your money and let you know how much you made.
Good luck with this fundraising opportunity!
