Its been a bit...here's the reason.

Much planning has been going on the past few weeks. With the Hurricane Ike seminar and groundhog day events behind us, it's time to get going on what will probably be our busiest week in a long while, the week of April 20th.

The first event on the calendar is the Climate Change seminar on April 21st. While the first seminar was great there we're a few things that could have been done better. Lessons learned from that talk are being applied to this one and it's shaping up to be an amazing talk for all in attendance.

Details for now are: April 21st, 2009 at The University of St. Thomas. Right now, we are unsure as to where on the campus we will be having the talk, but rest assured, it will be inside. Start time is at 1pm with and end of the main talks being planned for around 5:30 pm. After which there will be an hour break for dinner. Part two starts at 7:00pm and goes to 8:00pm. The second part will have two speakers taking sides on a warming issue (probably not the cause). After they talk for their twenty or so minutes the floor will be opened up to questions from the audience. I love this part. Anytime there can be discussion involved, it's a win-win situation. A flyer for the event will be posted on our website, www.wxresearch.com, with contact information.

Just the very next day is Earth Day/ Weather Museum Birthday and we're planning out another day of educational fun. Many of the favorite activities from last year will be carried over to this
year with a few neat additions. At this time, we're planning on planting a vegetable garden in the back yard. This will probably start at a specifc time and we'll only be able to take a limited amount of people to help. Anyone who does get to help will get their own marker placed by their plant, so that when they come back, they'll be able to check up on their plant. All those who would like, can also take home a cup with flower seedlings. Popcorn will also be available. Who likes sunflowers the best!

The third and final event of the week is our 14th annual Weather Museum Classic. Meteorologiss from around the country fly in an play golf at the Wildcat Golf Club every year in support of The Weather Museum. It's one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. Look for us on the 24th on the greens!

Volunteers are needed for all events, so give us a call or email us if interested.
