Dear Judging Volunteer,

A fascinating Thomas A. Edison Regional Science and Inventors Fairs (TAERSIF) is set for Saturday, January 18, 2020 at Alico Arena on the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU). We are reaching out to our longstanding friends of the Fairs as well as new parties who are interested in serving as judges and general volunteers vital to the success of this annual event. This year, a heightened element of innovative thinking is expected following a series of natural disasters from wind, rain, flooding, fire, and loss of every day amenities. It should be an enlightening journey into the minds of our youth. Three (3) TAERSIF competitions are now under one newly designed and user friendly website: (https://edisonfairs.org). It is your go-to resource.
