Subject: Invitation for Students with Disabilities to San Diego
Science & Technology Luncheon

Dear John,

I am writing to inform you of a free event next Saturday, Feb 20, at
the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina for middle and high school
students with disabilities. We, at AAAS, recognize the importance of
providing role models to students with disabilities and conveying to
them that a career in science is possible for ALL students. I hope
you can assist me in disseminating this invitation to the NFB
community in San Diego. One of our speakers is a San Francisco-based
computer scientist who is blind.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the
world's largest scientific society, is holding its annual meeting in
San Diego next month. Every year we invite students in the
metropolitan area to meet professionals with disabilities who are
working in science, technology, engineering, and math. Below are the
brief details of the event.

What: AAAS Luncheon for Scientists and Students with Disabilities
When: Saturday, February 20, 2010, 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Where: Seaview Room, San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina
Why: Provide middle and high school students with disabilities
(apparent and non-apparent) the opportunity to hear about the
educational and life experiences of people with disabilities working
in the sciences, engineering, technology, and mathematics

This is a free event. Anyone interested in attending this luncheon
should RSVP via email or phone
(wrodrigu at aaas.org<mailto:wrodrigu at aaas.org> or 202-326-6630) by
Wednesday, February 17, 2010.
