Hi Everyone,



   We will be holding a meeting tomorrow night at 7:00 in Votey 211.   

We will have two professional members attending, Terry Barret and  

Margaret McMorrow.  They are interested to learn about our chapter and  

our Nicaragua project.  Terry has volunteered to be our technical lead  

for the project.  She has a BSME (RPI'93) and has worked for a couple  

years in an engineering consulting firm before joining IBM and working  

for some years in equipment engineering and microlithography.  From  

'03-'05 she tried something different, studying Tibetan language at  

UVa for six months and then two years in India, Nepal, and Tibet, with  

monks and nuns at monastic colleges and monasteries.  Now she's back  

at IBM working in optical engineering, simulating and characterizing  

image sensor chips for digital cameras.

   Margaret is is hoping to get involved more with the professional  

chapter in Vermont as well.  She plans on attending the International  

Conference with us.



   At tomorrow's meeting we will discuss and register for the  

International Conference.  We can go to the computer lab after the  

meeting and register online together, depending on our funding limit.   

Matt -  how was the meeting with SGA?  What do they cover?  Do we need  

to speak to Dan Harvey in the dean's office?

   Andy & Shanta - Is Mandar available to come to give a short talk on  

soils as a guest speaker?  Do you have his email, I could write him a  

formal invitation.

   Please continue to do your own research on solar-powered water  

pumps and projects similar to ours.



   Jess - Is there a schedule for when we are able to volunteer at the  

Teddy Bear factory to fundraise?

    Matt - Have we determined when to order the bagels/ breakfast  

sandwiches?  Were you able to speak to Feel Good?



See you tomorrow!
