Our Exploratorium Field Trip is confirmed for Monday, August 7th

Hi Physicists!

Our Western Sciences Field Trip to the Exploratorium in San Francisco is confirmed for Monday, August 7th.

We will be meeting at the Exploratorium for an afternoon of exciting exploration from 1:30 - 5:00 (the Exploratorium closes at 5:00).

The Exploratorium is a seven minute walk from the Embarcadero BART Station.
And there is validated parking nearby.
I will post more detailed directions next week.

The discounted cost is $19.95 each - payable beforehand.

Thank you

Larry
