National Science Teaching Association Conference - April 2020

Last week, the AIA pulled out of the show. The NAR Board stepped up and offered to put out the funds for the booth in addition to the mileage, parking, etc. they were already going to provide.

This morning, however, Trip advised me that we were pulling the plug and that our section's services would not be required. With the Covid19 pandemic still growing, it was felt that keeping our members safe was a more important issue.

With this loss of publicity opportunity, it is more incumbent on us to do the outreach we can in our communities to spread the word about TARC. CMASS used to host a large number of teams at our late winter/early spring sessions but that has dwindled. This year, we had a couple of teams join us in the fall but no TARC flyers were at our February launch and, so far, only one team has contacted us for our March launch.
