We went to the Baltimore Aquarium this past Saturday. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed walking around, seeing the Dolphin Show, and getting the “4-D Experience”. If anyone has parking receipts that need to be reimbursed, please hand them into Dawn as soon as possible. If you have pictures from this event, please email them to our historians, Ally (afetsko@udel.edu) or Michelle (mlapera@udel.edu). You can also put them on a CD or flash drive and bring them to a meeting.
