After 15 years in its Pomona, Calif., location, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Educator Resource Center will be moving. (A new arrangement for the center has not been determined. Continue to check the ERC page at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/education/index.cfm?page=115 for future updates.)
To facilitate our move, we need your help giving some of our excess material a new home. Up for grabs are items such as historical reference books, posters, historical JPL annual reports, bookmarks, postcards, and other JPL and educational materials.
In the coming months, we will have two free yard-sale-type events during which you can visit the ERC at the Indian Hill Mall in Pomona and take whatever you can use: Saturday, Nov. 9 and Saturday, Dec. 7. The doors will open for each event at 12:30 p.m. and close at 2:30 p.m., no need to RSVP. We recommend arriving with boxes or bags to carry items home. No early birds please.
