CONGRATULATIONS!

 We hope that you had great time at our 2018 Florida tournament.  We are so
proud of all of our teams for the cool solutions that you developed this
year and look forward to seeing you again next year!

Photos of the day have been published to our facebook page
<http://www.facebook.com/floridadi> www.facebook.com/floridadi as well as in
the PHOTO GALLERY on our website  <http://www.floridadi.org>
www.floridadi.org  If you have other photos you would like added, we would
be happy to do so.

KEVA PLANKS

We would like to know how you liked the KEVA PLANKS.  Did you enjoy building
with them?  Would you like to use them next year if available?  We need to
bring them back and forth from Knoxville, so we would like to make sure it
is worth transporting and storing them from year to year.

SUGGESTIONS

Please feel free to email us with any ideas you may have to improve our
tournament. We are happy to hear about what went well and what wasn't so
good for you. 

LOST AND FOUND

We have some found items.  Please ask your teams and supporters if anyone
has lost a pair of black hard plastic knee pads, a brown monkey or a blue
tote with orange surfboard print, so that they can be returned.  If I don't
hear by May 1, they will be donated.

Tournament Volunteers

Our thanks once again to all of our wonderful volunteers. Florida DI is an
all- volunteer organization, and it takes a lot of people and time to
provide the program.  We are so fortunate to have had your help.  We
couldn't do it without you!  Special thanks to the Disney VoluntEARS
program, and our friends from The Villages for the generous donation of your
time and expertise.  

Thank you to Park Maitland School for allowing us to use your terrific
facilities and to idTech for financial support this year.
