BSLUGS Raise $1271 for the Smith Renaissance Society at 2014 Holiday Fundraiser

The BSLUG Board thanks everyone who came to the BSLUG Holiday Party last December 6 at Kate Ellis's lovely home and also those who contributed to the fundraiser who couldn't come.  It was such a success, not only in terms of how much money we raised ($1271) for the Smith Renaissance Society, but also because it was very clear we have created a real community of slugs out here in New England.

The atmosphere of the party was very warm and merry, despite the food being cold (but delicious).  Thank you so much, Kate, for making it all possible!

The date of our spring speaker event has to be changed because we overlooked the fact that April 3 is the first day of Passover (thank you, Nancy!)

THE NEW DATE FOR UCSC ASTROPHYSICIST, ENRICO RUIZ-RAMIREZ, TO TALK WITH US IS SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, IN THE EVENING at Sloan and Rob's home in West Newton.

You'll be hearing more about it soon, but in the meantime, mark your calendars!
