Update: 2020 Tech Trek and STEM Panel
Due to safety concerns, the 2020 Tech Trek was canceled. We honored the girls we had selected for this year’s event with a drive-in outdoor event on September 3rd at Estelle’s house. The girls, their parents, and siblings arrived in their small groups, and we listened to each talk a bit about how they have enjoyed summer and school. We invited the girls and their families to a table for food, drinks, and goodies. Thank you, Estelle, Gail, and Rhonda for all their work!
