ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Thank you Laura for the thoughtful questions.  The goal in bringing a
speaker would be to attract key community individuals to our fundraiser,
so the primary focus would be to raise funds for the science cent, a
secondary focus would be to increase awareness and "elevate" the center
in the community.  This would be the first of such an event, but it
would be wonderful if the center could continue with such an event
annually.

Thanks again,
Annette
