Team leaders, in an effort to make sure that all the MN teams and volunteers that are going to Detroit, this email is going out to all the team leaders in the state.  Please make sure you pass on this information to all your team members and mentors.  The all Minnesota picture from last year was very memorable.

Yoji Shimizu took a look at the preliminary match schedule and thinks the best time for a MN team picture in Detroit (same place, Hart Plaza) will be Friday, with a call for teams to show up at 12:15 PM.  1816 has the latest scheduled match in the morning at 11:45 AM, and the first matches for teams after lunch look to be around 1:45 PM.  That should be enough time for everyone to get together and take the picture by no later than 1:00 PM.  Weather currently looks reasonable too for Friday.

Hart Plaza is a short walk from Cobo Hall.  Here’s a Google Maps link (https://goo.gl/maps/LGV75DtsPQmFwpc36 ).

Good luck to everyone going to Detroit!

Chairman, MN FIRST Regional Planning Committee
