[Ohio-talk] Fwd: [Nfbnet-members-list] NFB STEM2U

[Eric Duffy]

Of course our leaders helped get it here. It is not something I have said much about, because I wanted the National announcement to come out first.

Shelbi and I were part of an initial meeting a few weeks ago, and we will be working with some of the same people to make arrangements for the BELL Program to visit COSI this summer.
