TechFire was invited to give a presentation at St. Onge Company's "Lunch and Learn" session.  As one of our major sponsors, St.Onge has been instrumental in providing our team with mentors and financial support. St. Onge Company provides supply chain strategy and logistics consulting services in the United States and internationally and is consistantly named as one of the Top 100 Great Supply Chain Partners in the world. 

We were delighted to give a detailed overview of our season and express our gratitude in person to the audience of enthusiastic engineers and business associates. At the conclusion of our season overview, company president, Mike Jones, was presented with a team photo and momento from our trip to the 2013 FIRST World Championships.  Mr. Jones expressed his appreciation for our visit and also left us with some invaluable words of wisdom: 

"Being smart is good but it won't make you great.  Integrity, hard work, and persistence--that's what makes you great.  Some of us can be good, but we all have the potential to be great."  -Mike Jones, President St. Onge Co.

A big thanks to St. Onge for their on-going support and kudos to our students for an outstanding job reaching out to the engineering community!

TechFire is excited to be part of this upcoming community fundraising event!  The County Cup is a croquet tournament fundraiser which will unite multiple charities along with the Rotary clubs of York County to raise more than $100,000 to go directly into the community’s nonprofit coffers to support and build the community... while having fun!

The event will be held on October 5th at Sovereign Stadium where attendees will enjoy activities for adults and children with a family friendly “croquet party” that will include food concessions and carnival games.

TechFire is looking forward to playing in the tournament and has been hard at work practicing with the aim of winning the coveted cup and prize money.  The event is also a great way to reach out to the community and get the word out about our team and FIRST, not to mention, a great team building opportunity and excuse to have fun together outside the shop.  

Stay tuned for updates as TechFire will be selling tickets to the event soon!  All profits will go directly toward funding our next season of FRC.
