Message to: Union Fire Company #2
We wish to convey our heartfelt thanks to the Union Fire Company No.2 for allowing the Ballston Spa High School FIRST Robotics Team 3044: 0xBE4 to participate in such a wonderful community event.
The Team had an incredible experience working side by side all the firefighters and their families as we helped prep for the Fish Fryday, waited tables, cleaned tables and tried to encourage the by-passers with our “Spirit Chants”…You say Fish, I say Fry…Fish Fry, Fish Fry!  Your Team made our Team feel welcomed and showed us the “gracious professionalism” that encompasses the core values of our FIRST Robotics program.
  We are humbled by your generosity allowing us to receive a portion of the proceeds to help our fundraising efforts to get us out to the World Championship’s April 23-28 in St. Louis. MO
We appreciates your commitment for the past 15 years, in which your Fish Fry Event has helped so many other worthy causes in our community. More importantly Team 3044 would like to thank you for being our “community heroes” because you and your volunteers are always on call to help make our community a safer place to live.
Your friends from…
FIRST ROBOTICS
TEAM 3044: OxBE4
