The meeting should last until about 5:30 and will be in our “normal” meeting place at the Bethany Church. New team members, we will meet in the cafeteria of QHS and walk across the street together at 3:25 or you can use the attached directions. Note that there is a phone number (617-376-1100) to call in case you might not be able to find us.

At this meeting, we will show the new team members around our location and begin to get ourselves and our space organized for the upcoming build season.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Student Portraits

As we try to do every year, we’ll be taking student portraits (to help mentors remember names, and for the student bios on the website) starting Sunday & Monday this week. Please try to bring team gear if you have it (shirt or sweatshirt) on those days. We’ll setup makeup days for anyone who cannot be here those days, later.

Thanks!

Canning Information

0 comments

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!
