Late breaking news... Team Hardship Grants from FIRST. We would really like to use these hardship grants to cover the cost of starting new teams - since the cost is twice as much as just continuing. However, given the economy there may be a few teams contemplating their ability to continue with the program. Each region will be allocated a couple of these grants from the FIRST organization. Please forward this to anyone you know who might be considering starting a new team this year. Get the form back to me ASAP.
