Brookhaven Women in Science (BWIS) Activity

BWIS Wine & Cheese Party, 11/30
The BNL community is invited to the Brookhaven Women in Science (BWIS) Wine & Cheese Party to be held on Thursday, November 30, from 5:15 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Recreation Hall, Bldg. 317, in the apartment area. BWIS holds this event annually to thank all who have helped with and supported BWIS programs, welcome new members, and introduce the new executive board to the Laboratory community.
To recruit new members, BWIS representatives will be giving out free raffle tickets at the event. Current BWIS members and those who sign up to be members at the party will be eligible to enter the raffle. Winners will be chosen during the festivities. Raffle-ticket holders must be present to win. Several bottles of wine and free one-year BWIS memberships will be given away as prizes.
Both men and women are welcome to join BWIS. The group's mission is to promote the advancement of women in the scientific professions; provide a forum for the exchange of scientific, technical and professional information; and support each other's efforts on the job. BWIS also administers scholarships for women and provides educational outreach programs. Annual membership dues are $10 for BNL and BSA employees and $5 for all others. More information about BWIS and the membership application form are available at the BWIS website: http://www.bnl.gov/BWIS/.
