VOLUNTEERS:  Volunteers are always needed at the state competition.  If you wish to volunteer for this year's competition, please contact the state coordinator or fill out this form and email to Rebecca L. Golden at bgolden@spotsylvania.va.us

 

DONATIONS:  Individual and corporate donations are also always needed to help fund both the chapter and state level competitions.  Checks should be made payable to "VSPE Educational Fund" with a notation in the memo section that your contribution is to benefit the "State  MATHCOUNTS" program.  Checks should be mailed to VSPE Educational Fund, P.O. Box 4969, Midlothian, VA 23112.  The VSPE Educational Fund is a 501(C)3 corporation and your contribution should be deductible as a charitable contribution.  Please consult your tax advisor when making any tax decisions.

PARENTS/GUESTS:  Parents and guests are always welcome at the state competition.  Parents and guests are allowed during lunch and during the Countdown Round portion of the competition.  Because of security concerns at the location, Dominion VA Power has requested a list of ALL individuals who will be entering the facility for the competition.  Therefore, ANY parent who wishes to observe their child in the afternoon portion of the competition MUST notify the Chapter Coordinator in writing of those who will be attending.  You must also have a valid photo ID with you when you arrive and check in at Dominion VA Power's headquarters.  Because of this additional requirement, we ask that small children (toddlers) not be brought to the competition.  We are also NOT selling lunches to parents/guests this year.  Lunch will only be provided to coaches and competitors.  There are numerous restaurants and shopping malls within 5 minutes of the competition site for parents/guests to get food.
