ENGINEERS WEEK (and PASM display):

Quoting an email from Doug:

“I emailed all the people who might be eligible to upgrade to Sr Member
to encourage them to do so. I heard from a half dozen who asked for
names of possible references, so that's good response. There might be
many who just filled out the form and mailed it... 'cause they don't
need no help finding those stinkin' references.
Please discuss the permanent display at the museum idea. With Brian's
OK, all we need is to get "Take One" materials and set it up. We could
get those materials with CAT III funds. My apologies for not having
this task completed. I haven't done the CAT III thing before.

Anyone interested in doing the E-Week mall event could contact me. It
would be a couple of hours of smiling and giving out Styrofoam shuttles
and balsa airplanes... mostly to kids. It's sometime in February.”
