2006 Season Kickoff
Written by Samantha Lipscomb on October 20, 2005On Thursday, October 20, 2005, team members and parents, veterans and first year participants alike, met in the SHS Media Center for the annual Team 230 Kickoff Event. Marking the end of the recruitment period and the beginning of a new season, this event is important for giving parents the information they need regarding exactly what the team is and does. Louis Schmecker, John Niski, and Tracey Hussey, advisors to the team, spent the night explaining events such as the Competition Kickoff, the two regional competitions the team will be attending, and the many fundraisers the team holds throughout the year, including the upcoming Dinner and Auction. Team seminars, informational meetings where new students can learn about subjects from control systems to pneumatics to electrical wiring to animation, were also discussed. These seminars will be held from November to December, including many mandatory meetings, such as the Team Building Seminar, that members should be aware of. Every year, the seminars give new members a chance to see what they might be interested in on the team. The Kickoff event was a success, and left all members excited to get the season off to a great start. Before we know it, the Competition Kickoff will be here!
