Nuclear Science Merit Badge Workshops
Subject: Spring 2015 Nuclear Science Merit Badge Workshops are OPEN! Hello, Alternatively, if you have received multiple emails of this or would like to be removed from our mailing list, please notify me. We have an extensive mailing list, and do not intend to send out spam. I apologize, and I thank you for your understanding. The workshop dates this spring are: Please try to minimize the number of attending adults. The lecture hall can fill up very quickly. More adults means fewer scouts can attend! Remember, I am always available by email if you have any questions. One final note: I have also brought on co-coordinator Virginia Haupt to aid me in preparing these workshops. Do not be alarmed if she responds to an email in my place. We will do our best to answer any questions you might have and help you any way we can. Thank you again from everyone here at the UW-Madison student section of ANS and we hope to see you this spring!
