Locations of these events are as follows:

Presentations: Pungo Auditorium, F-133 in the Pungo Building
You are encouraged to reach out and contact at least one local physics teacher--or school--in your area that you could invite to this meeting. It often happens that someone might attend if given the little extra incentive of being personally invited, offered encouragement, offered a ride, or some other small boost by our regular attendees. Remember that annual dues are waived for new high school teachers and adjunct professors.
