Volunteer Appreciation Night @ the Grad Lounge

Hi all our wonderful LTS volunteers!

You are cordially invited to join Nancy & I plus some of your fellow volunteers 
at the Grad Lounge 
at 6pm 
on Thursday, November 28th.

We've reserved the big table at the back and will be providing some appetizers as well as raffling off a few prizes before the Grad Lounge Trivia fun begins at 7 pm.

Friends of LTS are absolutely welcome too! But we can't promise you a prize ;-)

Post Party Updates -- 
Out LTS trivia team made an excellent showing AGAIN this semester, placing 3rd and 2nd in the two trivia rounds.
Kate B & Keith P were our top two volunteers this semester! They each received a $10 gift card.

Thanks everyone!
We'll definitely do it again next semester!

LTS will be at STAO this week

The national Let's Talk Science folks will have a booth at the Science Teachers'Association of Ontario (STAO) conference this week.

The University of Guelph Science Outreach team will also have a booth and will be talking up all the outreach this university does, including their support of our LTS program.

UofG's very own Bonnie Lasby will be giving a talk about Nanoscience, so if you're heading to the conference, be sure to check out her talk. It should be one of the highlight talks!
