2. A Special Message from Dean Kamen 

Hello Teams! Great news!

To help you raise even more money for your teams from our ongoing and highly successful FIRST e-watt saver Light Bulb fundraiser program (you’re out there selling, I hope) --- FIRST is making this special, limited time offer:Now through November 30 ─ Buy one case of bulbs, get a second case absolutely FREE*!

Wow…think about it…twice the revenue at half the cost!

To boost sales, you can even set your own price on your free bulbs. This is a tremendous opportunity to help fund your team activities, so I urge you to take advantage of it.

But you must act soon! This offer ends November 30 and will not be repeated.

For complete details, please visit: www.usfirst.org/e-wattresources

Order today…and happy selling!

~Dean Kamen

* Teams must pay shipping on each case delivered
