Hey Kathy, You are thinking along the same lines as me. I have put together a pdf advertising the meeting that I plan to send to all NEACT members in RI asking them to forward to colleges who may be interested. Also, I have trying to get Steve to update the web, but he says he is too busy so I'm hoping that Ken will do it tonight.

Then this is the division meeting for you! We will explore the web site : www.webexhibits.org <http://www.webexhibits.org> as we analyze, using X-ray and IR, the changes a painting underwent over time, use scientific reasoning to determine if an ancient map is a forgery, and bring home sample worksheets you can use with your classes from conceptual chemistry through honors on topics of the electromagnetic spectrum, nuclear chemistry, and chromatography. Add to that- yummy snacks, good conversation, professional development credit and maybe even a BINGO game thrown in to boot. ALL FOR FREE!!
