OT: AJPL Family STEM Day - Volunteers?

[Scott Sparks]

Phil, there will be power outlets available.  The library can set up a spot
for you, and you can stay for the whole time or any length of time you like.

Todd, would you be able to do your seminar from 3-4pm?  The library has a
presentation slot open for that time.

Thanks for the responses, guys.  We appreciate it.
