As a judge, I want to second what Juliann said about the Tournament.  It went off so smoothly.  We never felt pressured for time, as teams were usually where they needed to be ahead of time and willing to go early.  Thank you to Cleo, Darlene and the other judges, referees and volunteers. 
 
I continue to be impressed with parents and coaches and how they handle the teams in positive and encouraging ways.  And the teams, oh, what can I say! Such remarkable young people.   I have no doubt, I will be involved with USFIRST and VIRGINIA FIRST for many years to come. 

I want to thank the teams and coaches from the bottom of my heart.  Judging is an honor and you make it the most fun day of the year for my oldest daughter Jackie (who is a volunteer) and myself... Yahoo!!!!

Subject: [VADCFLL-L] Thank you for all your hard work Maggie Walker

Wow!

 

With all that you had going on around you (i.e. the marathon) and all you had going on at Maggie Walker – that was a lot of teams  - and all the questions last minute (mine included about the strategic objects!) you guys never let us see you sweat.  Special thanks for the chairs next to the competition tables those really made a difference!  Everyone was helpful and knew how to keep things running smoothly.  The announcements were so helpful to keeping us on time, our pit helper – she was AWEOME – Catherine W. – please give her special thanks from our team I could not find her after the meet – not only did she get us where we needed to be – she really helped calm me and my team who had so many robot issues we had to keep tweaking and re-downloading programs within minutes of going to the competition table.  And the judges … they were all so kind to the kids… everyone deserves major thanks!  No job was too small – even the boy who saw my kid had a scrape on his leg and ran to get us a bandaid -  every volunteer made a positive difference and it showed!

 

Thanks !

 

Juliann
