Hi All:

The 233rd American Chemical Society National Meeting & Exposition will be
in Chicago March 2007.  Ami LeFevre and I are planning the High School
Teachers Day program. This event, which takes place on Sunday, March 25,
2006 from 8:30AM - 4:30PM, will feature programming that addresses topics
relevant to the teaching of high school chemistry.  The location is yet to
be determined. Sunday morning coffee, lunch, and materials will be
included as part of your registration fee. More details later.

If you could share this info with teachers in your area or in a newsletter
or website that would be most appreciated.

Here is the HS Chicago program as of 9/20/06.
