WonderLab's "Science Night Out"

WonderLab's annual gala, Science Night Out, is coming up on Friday, September 11 at the Bloomington Convention Center. This event raises essential operating funds for the museum, funds that are even more critical in this year as grant resources have become more scarce.

WonderLab Museum of Science, Health and Technology is a critical outreach partner to many IU-based NSF grants. It provides crucial resources for K-12 education and teacher training, and is a tremendous asset for our own families, our area schools and for Indiana University students seeking service learning opportunities.

I would therefore like to strongly encourage you to join me in purchasing a ticket for WonderLab's Science Night Out annual gala. WonderLab is a private non-profit educational organization, and tickets are tax-deductible in large part. The deadline to purchase tickets (September 4 ) is right around the corner. Guests must be 21 years old or older. For information about the evening and the ticket-order form follow this link: http://wonderlab.org/membersndonors/fundraising.shtml

Here is what to expect in a nutshell: Science Night Out will be hosted by Coach Tom and Joani Crean and will have a theme of "WonderLab Untamed." The evening will kick off with a cocktail hour featuring live animals from across the globe, delicious hors d'oeuvres, cash bar, and one of Bloomington's largest silent auctions. A gourmet dinner and spectacular live auction will follow.

Please consider joining me at this important and truly enjoyable event for WonderLab!
