GENERAL CLUB INFO

Note From Kelvin:

 

Hello everyone, the first FTC scrimmage of the season is right around the corner, less than a week away. The teams are making great progress with their robots in preparation for the scrimmage. Just a couple reminders for those of you who have not already turned in their travel consent form, please turn them in this Friday meeting, or we will not be able to carpool you to the event. We handed out the forms in a previous meeting and if you did not get one or lost it, email me at [email protected] and I’ll send you the file. Bring $2 to the next meeting if you want a pizza lunch at the scrimmage. More details about the scrimmage will be sent out in another email later this week.  

 

I just want to say a special thanks to the parents of Jayraj, Sonia, Kelvin, Sarvesh, Janavi, Kara and Annika for being carpool drivers to the scrimmage. We graciously appreciate your support. Also another thanks to Mr. Haveliwala and Mr. Limanto for helping us clean up and organize TSL on Saturday.
