Many people from the Science Place's school programs department will be
there for the conference. Our museum has allowed us a lot of flexibility in
our schedules so each of us (6 employees) can at least attend part of the
conference.
See many of you there,

So far, Lori, it's just us. Let's definitely meet! Of this whole list, is
anyone else there going? Did I miss something?
Aw, come on, you guys....come play in May! A Museum Trade Show! Isn't that
the coolest form of play-while-you-work?...(well, maybe an archeological dig
would be awesome)...but this, to me, is totally decadent. I just may wear
lipstick!
P.S. Because beer is fattening and looks disgusting. Nope. I've really
never had a beer. Gonna die that way, too. Other liquor, yes. Beer?
Forget about it.
