Our AWIS chapter will be helping to
run a SCIENCE CLUB FOR GIRLS at the King school in Cambridge this year.
Adult volunteers (US!!) will work with high school girls to lead
the 6-7 graders in some fun, planned science experiments in two 8 week
sessions. All materials and information will be provided, no experience
necessary! It is so important for these girls to see YOU women scientists
as role models. This is sure to be a very fun, rewarding experience
so contact us now to participate.

AWIS Elections are Coming UP Our chapter will be holding elections for
the 2006-2007 board in early January. There will be some open board
positions and we would be thrilled to have some of the seats be actually
contested elections (signs of a strong growing chapter!!). No experience
necessary--it is a great way to get involved or become more involved! Contact
Joanne with questions or if you are interested in running for an office
