I'd like to highlight the <b>Earth Educators' Rendezvous, </b>a new <font>
venture that<span style="font-size:10pt"> NAGT and the InTeGrate project are putting together for next summer. We hope that this will be an exciting week for Earth educators to learn from one another, network, attend workshops, and generally have fun. The
program will include workshops of various scales, as well as a contributed program of posters and short talks. Think about Boulder, Colorado in July!
