Greetings, 

This will be the first year for Discovery Park to participate in the 10th
annual Spring Fest at Purdue University (most popularly known for ³Bug
Bowl²).

This message is two-fold, with the first encouraging all Discovery Park
faculty and staff to bring their families on Saturday April 12th, 2008 from
10am-4pm to Spring Fest and Discovery Park. We will be hosting a variety of
activities within all four buildings and will offer tours at 11am and 3pm,
beginning in MRGN 121 with the overview video. This is a GREAT opportunity
for your families to see what is you do at Discovery Park and to see the
facilities, while interacting with exciting games and give-aways.

We are encouraging each center to participate in some way for Spring Fest;
whether it is a poster of information about your center/project, or
contributing towards an activity. The excited faces you see and the
conversations that are created is just the beginning of why I am encouraging
everyone to make an effort in being at Spring Fest.

For this year to be successful, I will need everyone¹s help, no matter how
big or small. Several people have already contributed their time and efforts
in preparation for Spring Fest with posters, fliers, games, and suggestions.
Thank you to all of you!!

We really need your help to make this first year one of the best years for
Discovery Park!
