Hey guys!
I know a lot of the PR kids have been confused about what they should be doing during build season. Fortunately, we have lots of new, high-profile work to do! This Wednesday, we ask that all PR/FR members attend at our regular meeting time. We will being assigning new duties, (so if you’re sick of companies or grants, be sure to show up). First come first serve!
If you’re interested in doing interesting, high-profile work, now’s the time to really start working. Your efforts in publicity and communications will be imperative to the success of the team this season!

Just a reminder, the 2009 Potluck is on Friday, November 13th. All members who have volunteered to bring something should have gotten an email, and all parents should have received an invite. If your parent has not be receiving Saints Robotics e-mails, contact me ASAP! It is very important that all parents know what is going on in the club!
Students who volunteered to bring dishes and supplies were recorded as follows:
Utensils (65 sets) Eric Sun
Name tags(100) Amanda
Napkins (300) Katie, Gir, Isaku, Richard
Cups (200) Daphna, Austin
Plates (100) Teresa, Brandae
Entrees (7) Kevin, Brandae, Franklin, Katie, Gur, Isaku, Richard, Dennis
Salads (2) Stephanie, Mr. Woo
Sides (4) Dom, Michael Q, Ryan, Josh, Brandae
Deserts (4) HUGO, Tyler, Gur, Merritt
Drinks (5) Dimitri, Alex, James, Vivek, Larry
If you cannot bring your item (and have not talked to me), please contact me asap. See you there! =)
Good news! So far, we have parents that are able to drive 24 members! However, two parents, driving a total of 12 members will be leaving around lunch. Thus, it may be a good idea to arrange pickup from Bonney Lake if you do not wish to leave at this time.
Also, Mr. Woo, who is willing to take 5 additional members, will be picking students up in South Bellevue. If this is more convenient than driving out to Interlake, PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP! Otherwise, his five seats will be useless in our effort to make sure everyone can get to the workshop.
If anyone is still interested in volunteering for FLL on Sunday, please contact Teresa ASAP!
Hey all! just wanted to let everyone to know that yes, we WILL be having a meeting tomorrow, AKA Super Wednesday. I understand that some members were unsure.
See you tomorrow! Good luck on your ‘tests’ sophomores/juniors!
Does anyone have pictures that their parents took during the barbecue? Mr. Koenig suggested attaching them to the next parent newsletter, which I would like to send out fairly soon
Thanks
We will be making dates and preparations for our first sponsor pitch to Albertsons. This is the kick-off of sorts to our summer sponsor presentations, so it is important that anyone who is interested in doing FR over the Summer attend.
So for those of you who don’t know, our big BBQ is scheduled for June 13th, exactly one week from now. In preparation, we have been sending your parents E-vites for the event, which is useful in getting out information as well as giving parents a chance to sign up for their “potluck” item. This is why it is very important that if your parent has not received one to contact me ASAP! My e-mail is mandymay_0@hotmail.com.
Thanks!

We will be working on creating sponsor materials, specifically the presentation ppt :-)
Today, we were asked by the Interlake ASB and Sammamish Robotics team if we would bring our robot to their Walk For Aidan event on Saturday the 16th for a ‘robot race’.
We will thus be needing volunteers from our team to help at the event. Jobs could include robot monitoring/maintenance or running items, on top of what Sammamish wants us to do.
The event will run that day from 10-2, so we will want volunteers showing up around nine. I understand that it would be a lot to ask of you guys to stay the entire time, so perhaps we can break it into shifts:
Shift 1: 9-11 (setup)
Shift 2: 11-1 (event work, important for anyone managing the robot to be here, obviously)
Shift 3: 1-3 (break down and clean up, money counting)
This event can help us build alliances with a number of neighboring schools, spread the word about our team, and even earn brownie points towards a chairman’s award. Therefore it is important that as many of us as possible be there to support our team. So everyone try to at least show up for one of these shifts!
One caveat: volunteers do have to pay $10 admission to the event (wearing an Aidan shirt gets you in for 5). However, all proceeds are going to charity, and you get a shirt out of it. Plus, you are doing so to support everyone’s favorite robotics team!
Please tell me if you can make it!
