Dear FIRST 2008 Competition Participants,
The LRIG (Laboratory Robotics Interest Group) SouthEast Chapter is a
non-profit scientific organization with a mission to provide a
platform and facilitate scientific exchange of information among the
users and providers of automated and robotic lab systems applied to
various branches of science and education. We are one of fourteen
chapters around the US and Europe. To further investigate LRIG
SouthEast, please see our website at www.lab-robotics.org/southeast.
In addition, please view our home LRIG website at
www.lab-robotics.org.
The LRIG SouthEast Chapter would like to congratulate your school
robotics club for your participation in the FIRST Robotics Regional
Competition in Richmond, VA in March, 2008. It is quite impressive
that individuals of high school age have taken an interest in this
field of science. We also appreciate all of the teachers, parents
and mentors in their effort to assist and educate the next
generation of scientists and engineers.
In 2003, LRIG SouthEast Chapter sponsored a local high school
robotics club who were very successful making it to the National
Competition in Houston, TX. We’ve sponsored three other robotics
teams since then. We would like to expand our assistance to other
high school robotic clubs within our Chapter’s jurisdiction again
this year. With this said, we would like to extend the offer to high
school robotics clubs within VA, NC, TN, SC, GA and FL that are
registered for the FIRST Competition in Richmond, VA to compete for
sponsorship money donated by the LRIG SouthEast Chapter. If your
club needs additional financial support this would be an excellent
opportunity. The sponsorship is divided into two parts: A
sponsorship check in the amount of $750 will be awarded for the
funding of the Regional Competition. If your school robotics club
qualifies and attends the National Competition in Atlanta, GA, a
second sponsorship check will be sent to your school in March in the
amount of $1250.00.
Please find attached a Sponsorship Application Form. If you would
like to participate in this LRIG SouthEast Chapter Robotics Club
Sponsorship Competition, please provide your best responses to our
questions on the application. After committee review, the club with
the “best” responses will be awarded our Regional Competition
Sponsorship fund of $750.00 made out to your high school robotics
club.
The submission deadline for your completed Sponsorship Application
is January 30, 2008. LRIG SouthEast will notify the winner by
February 8, 2008 and a check in the amount of $750 will sent to your
provided high school address the week of February 11, 2008. We look
forward to your completed application.
Again we would like to congratulate you on your efforts and wish you
the best of luck in the LRIG SE Sponsorship Competition and the
FIRST Regional Competition in Richmond, VA.
Sincerely,
LRIG SouthEast Chapter
