Thanks to all the well-wishers!

It's really great to represent and support all the great teams and
volunteers in Virginia and DC, plus our friends in nearby states, too!

Nature's Fury has been a really fun challenge this year, and I know that
FLL teams are really going to enjoy the World Class challenge in the fall.
Scott Evans told us that he's come up with some new missions that will
really let teams showcase both knowledge and skills.

Check out Positive Aftermath at 1:09:20 of the World Festival finale video,
and a teaser for World Class at 1:40:00  The video is available at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njK886Iypxo

Here's the end of one of the practice rounds (http://t.co/cqN9Ehcgr8), with
FTC going full throttle right next door, plus 4 FRC fields hosting
qualifying matches.  Can you find all 5 of the Virginia-based volunteers in
this picture?  (No, neither can I...)
