Ken DeGhetto told us that the Rensselaer Club of New Jersey will provide financial support to the New Jersey Science Olympiad which will take place on March 20, 2001, at Middlesex County College in Edison. This is an annual event "devoted to improving the quality of science education, increasing student
interest in science, and providing recognition for outstanding achievement in science education by both students and teachers." The RCNJ will contribute a minimum of $300 in the name of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in order to increase awareness of our school among middle school and high school students in this state.

Ken has also asked that we seek volunteers to assist Sandra Buleza, the organizer of the Science Olympiad and her staff. Further details and a registration form are available on the NJ Science Olympiad Web Site. In order to better coordinate the RCNJ's involvement, Ken asks that you contact him at 973-630-8301 if you are interested in volunteering.
