Invoices Went Out Today!

Thank you for your patience, between the delay in getting the info we needed from FIRST and the weather last week, invoices went out much later than planned.   

Invoices were sent to the person that was designated on the PNW FRC registration form and include grants from your firstinspires dashboard as well as FIRST Washington or Ortop (where applicable) 

***New this year, MySite fees will be included on the invoice this year so if your team chose MySite for kickoff, expect to see that added to your invoice. 

Because invoices went out later than expected, we changed the secured date to December 10 to give you two weeks to secure it.  Remember, you can secure your invoice with a PO or pay by check or Credit Card.  Because of how winter break falls this year, it is critical that you secure your registration before you go on break or you may not receive your kickoff kit. 

If you have questions about your invoice or did not receive it please email me directly.  Include your team number in your email 

 

The November Coaches Chat was moved to Thursday, December  5 at 7:00 pm

Our next coaches chat is scheduled for Thursday, December 5th at 7:00 pm.  Coaches chats are an opportunity for use to share important information with all of you as well as help you connect with other coaches.  We recommend each team have one coach attend.  Click here for meeting link  

 

Volunteer with FTC or FLL!

We have 27 FTC and FLL Challenge events in December alone, and we need over 1,400 volunteers to run them! Please organize your team to register today! Volunteering at FLL and FTC events is NUMBER ONE way your team can support FIRST growth in your community, and you’ll have a blast doing it! 

For coaches and mentors, Judging or Refereeing is a great local team netoworking opportunity. And for FRC Students, volunteering in any role is a great way to work towards any service hour requirements for graduation.

If there is an FLL or FTC event in your school district and your team isn’t already supporting it, please consider mobilizing your team to help out! We understand this time of year is busy, but many of our FLL and FTC hosts depend on FRC teams to help fulfill volunteer roles. 

You can always reach out to us if you want more guidence about how to help out. Email Mara Kealey at marak@firstwa.org.
