In this update you will find:
Welcome to MISSION MOON! All coaches in Oregon are automatically added to this mailing list. Teams in neighboring communities are welcome to participate in Oregon Expos provided there is space. If you have missed an email from Oregon you may read the archive on our blog, or see the important links on our website. Official updates and program materials can be found on the FIRST LEGO League Jr Challenge website.
1) Welcome to the New Mailing List!
> 
Wow, what a morning. As many of you know this mailing list is written as a Blogger blog post and shared via a Google group. This morning our old Google Group became corrupted and instead of just me being able to send you the random "oops I didn't see the group was copied" email, everyone could! I don't know how horrible your inboxes looked, but mine kinda looks like an emergency pod was engaged on take-off and the capsule bounced hard on the earth.
To resolve all of this chaos I am simply removing all the emails from FIRST LEGO League Jr today. If you had a legitimate question PLEASE resend it. If you are on this list, you will be readded every week until May, so please just hang in there you are a coach! If your team parents, supporters, or others were on the mailing list before and would like to be again, they are absolutely welcome to join this list. Please have them fill out this very short form! All are welcome to be on this mailing list!

3) Earth Day Expo in Longview WA
*This event is not an official expo run by ORTOP, but it is a good event and a lot of fun!
4) Update on location requests for expos!
I have had a couple requests for an expo in the Bend area, but need more interested teams to makethat happen. If you are in the Bend area or would rather go to an expo in Bend please email Loridee-Wetzel@ortop.org
I have a request from Grants Pass for a South Oregon expo. If you feel like this is something your team would like to attend please send an email to Loridee-Wetzel@ortop.org
Dates for both of these expos would likely be in May!
Well, it's been a fun day and it looks like a cold weekend for the state of Oregon. I appreciate your help in spreading the word about this new mailing list. I also appreciate all of your restraint and understanding during this morning's technical challenge.
Next update we will be looking forward to the first 4 expos, some high school robotics, and more fun!
Best Wishes,
Loridee
