Calling all Members! This is your day!  To thank you for your membership and continued support of the North Museum, the Volunteer Associates are planning a “Members Only” party!  Join us for refreshments, Family Science Sunday fun, and a guest speaker, exclusively for North Museum Members.  This year’s guest speaker is Matt Binder, Earth Science teacher at Hempfield High School and on-air meteorologist for WGAL.  Matt will share with us his experiences as a candidate for NASA's "Teacher in Space" program.  Out of 11, 000 applicants, Matt was chosen to be one of the 100 to go to Houston for a 7 day interview and astronaut training. 35 of the 100 at Houston were teachers. Unfortunately Matt was not chosen as one of the final three.  Matt's presentation will begin at 2pm.
