It’s always breezy at the shore, so why not take advantage of the drafts and see what will fly? Make your high school physics teacher proud. Prizes will be passed out for the farthest flying glider and the coolest kite trick.

Bring your own picnic lunch, or bring something for the grill for yourself, and a side dish to share. We’ll bring the picnic supplies. Don’t forget your sunscreen!

Parking costs $7. Look for us near picnic tables and/or a bbq grill. It’s a small beach, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find us. We’ll be flying a rainbow wind sock and a LAGLS sign.

This is your opportunity to join the Steering Committee and take your turn at the helm, edit the newsletter, write some articles, offer to host a meeting, offer to host a tour of your technology, give us a piece of your mind, or just give us a pat on the back. You’re welcome to come along for the party, even if you don’t want to volunteer to help run the show; we enjoy the company. Bring something for the grill and a side-dish to share. We’ll supply the glowing briquettes, the root beer, and the air conditioning.

Where: Barbara and Shelley’s place in Pasadena.

For our 2006 Spring activity, we’ll go to see the “science of the superheros” display at the California Science Center.

Meet at 10 am on May 27 in front of the main entry of the Science Center. Although admission to the Science Center is free, tickets for the superheros exhibit are $9.75. Advance purchase is recommended, and they can be purchased on-line via this link. Be mindful that these tickets are for specific entry times to the exhibit. If we’re meeting at 10am in front of the museum, you should purchase a 10:15-10:30 entry time. After we’re done enjoying the exhibit, we’ll get some lunch nearby.

The California Science Center is located in Exposition Park at the corner of Figueroa Street and Exposition Boulevard, west of the 110 (Harbor) freeway. Parking is $6/car. For more directions and a map, visit this link.
