Microsoft Store Grand Opening - STEMAction Support
We are delighted to announce that STEMaction in support of FIRST has been named a community partner for Microsoft and will be recognized at a store opening celebration on Saturday at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda.
We invite you, your teams, and families to join us in celebrating the grand opening of the store on November 22nd, 2014 as part of a group representing FIRST and STEMaction. We will be some of the first people to enter the store and STEMaction will receive a sponsorship check as a community partner. If we can gather 50-100 people, STEMaction will receive an additional grant, so we would greatly appreciate your participation.
Our group will gather at 9:30am in the Food Court and the headcount for the grant occurs at 10am. The grand opening ceremony runs from 10:30-11:00 and we will all walk over together.
