Featuring swimming, games, and plenty of food, please bring a side salad or dessert (no glass or alcohol) and register the number of guests by this Thursday at https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/m/40327.
  • Thursday, August 25th at 7:05 pm, the Nat’s host the O’s at Nationals Park in DC. Tickets are only $24.50 and must be purchased online at least one week before the game at http://www.nationals.com/ieee.

Volunteers are still welcome for this month’s Camp Invention, and photos from the July session in Dumfries are on our web site site http://sites.ieee.org/nova and Twitter account @ieeenova. The Administrative Committee does not convene in August; technical programming will return in the fall.
