Summer update on FIRST events

I wanted to pass along a couple of good bits of PR for FIRST:

Kudos to 3131 Gladstone HS in Oregon for running a successful FIRST LEGO camp this summer http://www.gladstonerobotics.com/sc2010
Love how you are growing your future team members and that they already have you signature t-shirt and are part of the team!

Good job to 2990 Hotwire from W. Salem, OR on acknowledging your sponsors with your year end recap video by  http://www.vimeo.com/13992561

Congrats to Christian Bundschu from 2910 Henry Jackson HS in Everret, WA on his Eagle Scout robotics project that made the news:

And a BIG THANK YOU to Boeing for the beautiful 80′ tent at SeaFair and showcasing FIRST .  Huge thanks to Boeing employees Conrad Ball, Andy Gebhart and Darin Gee for their tireless efforts in creating and staffing this space and to the WA teams (FLL, FTC and FRC) who manned the Boeing SeaFair booth on for 3 days impressing over 80,000 visitors with your robots!

Last and not least, thanks to Conrad Ball who brokered the event for the FIRST students/mentors to meet the Blue Angel pilots – that was just TOO COOL!
