[members] Flood of e-mails

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 10:00:00 GMT

<div class=Section1> Sorry about the flood of old e-mails.  The site got hacked a few weeks ago (again) and I didn’t catch that the cron job for the e-mail distribution got removed and modified.  I have worked with the hosting company and we believe we got the threats and holes removed from the system.  From what I can tell our site was fine, it was one of the sub domains that we host that got demolished.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Anyway, hopefully it is back in line.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Later,<o:p></o:p> <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chad</st1:place></st1:country-region><o:p></o:p> </div>

[members] NC Gears Invitation for Robotics Team Gathering

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 01:05:00 GMT

<div class=Section1> Team, I was contacted by NC Gears about a gathering that are doing on July 31st.  Below is the information.  I am not sure if anyone want to or can organize this: it will be a good discussion for everyone.  I have an e-mail for a contact from NC Gears if anyone wants to contact them for more information.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chad</st1:place></st1:country-region><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Message from NC Gears:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> As you may already we, the NC Gears, are hosting a picnic on the <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">shore</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Lake Michigan</st1:PlaceName> at <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Kruse</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Park</st1:PlaceType> in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Muskegon</st1:place></st1:City> on July 31, 2010. ALL TEAMS ARE INVITED. We have a pavilion reserved until 3:00 but there is nothing stopping us from using the beach until well after dark. Since this is the first time for what we hope is an annual event, there will be no food supplied.  We look forward to seeing you and your families for this fun and relaxing chance to get together with other teams in the off season.  It would be cool to bring team shirts for photos and so we all know where each other is from <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Kruse</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Park</st1:PlaceType> is located at the west end of <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Sherman Blvd</st1:address></st1:Street> in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Muskegon</st1:place></st1:City>.

[members] Summer Project

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 01:03:00 GMT

<div class=Section1> Calling all you video enthusiasts.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Holland CHAOS has several videos that date back to our beginning, 1995, that need to be converted to a digital format. If you have some time this summer and would like to spend a couple hours a day converting these please email me back. I have the converter and hard drive to do this. It is very simple but will require checking to make sure the conversion is complete. There are at least a hundred videos, maybe 150 that need to be done. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> If this sounds like something you would like to do or even a group of you, please email me. I will have a $10 gift certificate to Craig’s Cruisers for those who help with the conversion.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p>  <o:p></o:p> <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Ken Platteschorre</st1:PersonName><o:p></o:p> Engineering Designer<o:p></o:p> Seating Group<o:p></o:p> HAWORTH, INC.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> One <ns0:place w:insAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:insDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:endInsDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z"><ns0:PlaceName w:insAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:insDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:endInsDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Haworth</st1:PlaceName></ns0:PlaceName></st1:place> <ns0:PlaceType w:insAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:insDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:endInsDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType></ns0:PlaceType></ns0:place><o:p></o:p> <ns0:place w:insAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:insDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:endInsDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z"><ns0:City w:insAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:insDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:endInsDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z">Holland</ns0:City>, <ns0:State w:insAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:insDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:endInsDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z">MI</ns0:State> <ns0:PostalCode w:insAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:insDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z" w:endInsAuthor="Ken Platteschorre" w:endInsDate="2010-07-15T08:25:00Z">49423</ns0:PostalCode></ns0:place><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> direct    616-393-3660<o:p></o:p> fax       616-393-1532<o:p></o:p> mobile  616-890-7094<o:p></o:p>             Holland m/c 1d-2<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> ken.platteschorre<a href="mailto:ken.platteschorre@haworth.com">@haworth.com</a><o:p></o:p> <a href="http://www.haworth.com">www.haworth.com</a><o:p></o:p>  <o:p></o:p> P Only print if necessary<o:p></o:p> <a name="_MailEndCompose">NOTICE OF CONFIDENTIALITY:  The contents of this e-mail message and any attachments are intended for the addressee(s) named in this message.  This communication is intended to be and to remain confidential.  If you are not the intended recipient of this message, or if this message has been addressed to you in error, please immediately alert the sender by reply e-mail and then delete this message and its attachments.  Do not deliver, distribute or copy this message and/or any attachments and, if you are not the intended recipient, unless immediately and permanently deleted, recipient hereby agrees to protect this transmission and any documents, files or previous messages attached (confidential information) in the same manner in which recipient acts to protect his/her/its own confidential information.</a><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div>
