BOOMTOWN BUILD Coach Email Volume 4- 9/10/19

Greetings FIRST LEGO League Jr Coaches! Welcome to BOOMTOWN BUILD!

*It has come to my attention that people are not receiving my emails the way I usually send them, so I am trying a new way. I apologize if you have unsubscribed through the website and are receiving an unwanted email. I will be sending emails this way in the future. Thanks for your patience.

If you are new to this email this is the place where you will find all of the Washington specific FIRST LEGO League Jr information. Coaches and team administrators in the FIRST system for the BOOMTOWN BUILD season will be added weekly. Starting this season, every email from me will be numbered. That number lets you know which update it is, if you miss an update you can find it on our website.

I have 2 items for you today-

1. Expo Locations and registration

2. Facebook Group for Coaches

Details:Expo Locations and Registration

We are working hard to finalize our Expo dates and locations and hope to have that information to you soon. Once you register, you’ll receive an invoice to pay the event registration fee of $50. When both registration and the fee are completed, you will be confirmed in your event. Event registration will open in the fall, and the date will be announced as soon as all dates and locations are confirmed.
