OH! ZONE 2012
Reuben H. Fleet Science Center's Annual Fundraiser
SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 2012
REUBEN H. FLEET SCIENCE CENTER
In San Diego’s beautiful cultural jewel, Balboa Park
The Friends of the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, Trustees, event chair Jackie Sheid, and vice chairs Amee Alagiri and Dawn Grob invite you to join distinguished and diverse guests in celebration of the eleventh annual OH! Zone interactive party!
OH! Zone, known for its playful and relaxed atmosphere, captures the spirit of hands-on focused interaction that has become synonymous with the Fleet Science Center, with NO boring awards ceremonies, long speeches, or formal attire.
(6:00 PM – 8:00 PM) The festivities begin with a cocktail social hour, delicious tray passed hors d'oeuvres, and engaging science demonstrations, followed by a special presentation in the Eugene Heikoff and Marilyn Jacobs Heikoff Dome Theater.
(8:00 PM – Midnight) Enjoy a delicious dinner, casino games, Live DJ, and interactive exhibitions including "Geometry Playground."
Please help us continue our important work at the Fleet by attending, inviting your friends, or sponsoring an aspect of the OH! Zone event. For additional information, contact Matt Kirl at 619.238.1233 x830, or email mkirl@rhfleet.org
