Andrea Ordean - Valet + Twin

Hello Andrea,

I hope you are doing well and staying safe during these times.

I’m Kristen, the Operations Manager for Midnight Sun. On behalf of the team, I’d like to thank you for your generous contribution to our team and MS XIV. We really appreciate your support and it will help us move one step closer to our goal of competing at the upcoming American Solar Challenge in the summer of 2021!

Even though our fundraising campaign has ended, we will not be pressing the brakes on our progress until we reach our destination. During these times, many of our members have been working remotely from various countries around the world, while others have returned to our working space on campus.

Regarding your perks, you can expect them to arrive between January to February. While we plan to ship them out before the new year, there remains the possibility of delays due to COVID-19 and the busy holiday period.

Perks to be shipped: 3D printed model of MS XIV, shot glass (x3), sunglasses (x3), poster (x3), laptop sticker pack (x3), 3D printed keychain (x3), cloth patch (x3)

Perks to be emailed: team desktop background, team phone background

Other perks: Seat dedication, name in workbay, name on battery module, ride in MS XIV

For us to proceed with the ‘other perks,’ please respond to this email with a name that we may use for the seat, workbay, and module.

Additionally, while we aim to complete MS XIV by the summer, rides in the car will most likely be postponed, depending on whether the current COVID situation improves and if University gathering policies will allow visitors on campus. We hope you understand and we will keep you updated with potential dates for this.

Lastly, I have attached a couple of photos for you - one is the render of MS XIV, and the other is a team photo from our most recent competition, FSGP 2019. Please enjoy!

We look forward to reaching the finish line with you. Thank you and have a great day!
