Dear TEC Community,

Welcome to our newly created blog! We will be using this to communicate new information and recap any TEC weekend that we experience together.

As we eagerly anticipate the 2024 TEC weekends, we have some exciting updates to share with you regarding the fees and additional perks for future TECs. We believe these changes will not only enhance your experience but also make participating in TEC more affordable for everyone involved.

Fee Adjustment for Team Members:

The TEC council has made a thoughtful decision to adjust the fees for team members by an additional $10 per person. We understand that any change in cost may raise questions, so let us assure you that this adjustment comes with benefits that will make your TEC experience even more memorable.

Inclusions for Team Members:

  • Team Shirts: We are thrilled to announce that team shirts will now be fully covered by TEC! Not only does this promote unity and a sense of belonging, but it also eliminates the need for each participant to spend extra money on their team apparel.
  • Support/Kitchen Aprons: TEC will be providing support and kitchen aprons at no additional cost to team members. This alleviates the financial burden that team members might have faced when purchasing these items individually, in addition to the t-shirt. 
  • Wheat Stole Supplies: TEC will cover the costs of wheat stole supplies for team members. This alleviates the financial burden that team members might have faced when purchasing these items individually, in addition to the t-shirt. 
  • Table Decorations: TEC council understands the importance of creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during the weekend at each table. To help with this, TEC will reimburse up to $20 per table for ATL table decorations. This allows for creativity and personalization while being mindful of your budget.

In summary, while the team fee is increasing by $10 per person, it’s important to recognize that TEC is absorbing the costs of various items that would have otherwise been paid for individually by team members. When factoring in the savings on shirts, aprons, stole supplies, and the opportunity for reimbursement on table decorations, most team members will find themselves spending less overall.

We believe these changes not only make financial sense but also contribute to a more inclusive and supportive TEC community. If you have any questions or concerns about these updates, please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. 

Warm regards,

TEC Council
