The mission of the Future City competition is to provide a fun and exciting educational engineering program for seventh- and eighth-grade students that combines a stimulating engineering challenge with a "hands-on" application to present their vision of a city of the future. The Pasco St. Patrick's School Future City Teams have won the regional (northwest) competition for the last 3 years and travelled to Washington, D.C. to compete in the national competition. This year's winning team will present their "city of the future." Come to the meeting and learn more about these budding "young engineers."

helpful hints
1: Don't be irreplaceable. If you cannot be replaced, you cannot be promoted.
2: Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
3: It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a bad example.
4: It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.
5: If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
6: Some days you are the bug, some days the windshield.
7: Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

E-MAIL NEWS
We use E-mail to send out the Newsletter. However, we need to determine who is being missed by this. A hardcopy newsletter is expensive and time consuming.
Do you have a particular topic that you want presented at a dinner meeting? Ethics? How to survive the new "employment world"? ?????
