[ShareTompkins] CCE Kitchen Garden Tours: 8/11, 8/18, 9/8, 9/10 & 9/17

[Teresa Porri]

This activity is being held outside of Tompkins County but the education and
outreach program running it is local (it's in my office).  The contact
person is Jennifer Weil, jrw85 at cornell.edu. This particular hands-on science
activity is lots of fun, and Mary Nelson's Youth Day BBQ is pretty amazing
too. Details below.

Hi All,

It is that time of year again...  *Mary Nelson's Youth Day BBQ!*  For those
of you who have never attended; we go and make slime with kid who are
participating in a free celebration of the start of another school year.
The kids get free school supplies, fun activities and BBQ.  Last year we
made nearly 3000 bags of slime in 5 hours.  Mary has challenged us to double
that number this year.  There are more that 9000 children at this event.
The event is on Saturday August 15th from 10am - 5pm in Syracuse.  We ask
that you car pool up and the NBTC will pay mileage and buy you dinner in
Syracuse (on your own).  You can go out to eat at any number of fun
restaurants, bring me the itemized bill with the total and I will have a
check sent to you.  If you need a ride, we have a few seats in the NBTC van
but you will have to return to Ithaca to eat out.
Please forward this to all your friends.  You don't have to be a science
major.  You don't have to know a thing about slime.  All you need is a smile
and a willingness to have fun with a lot of kids.
Reply to jrw85 at cornell if you are interested in attending and I will send
more detailed information.

Thanks,
