East Bay Physics Alliance
_________________________

				Berkeley, Sunday December 4, 1994

Hello Physics Folks,

This is an unofficial test.

We had a very stimulating Northern California Local Physics Alliance
Workshop yesterday in Santa Rosa, featuring people from the National
Science Foundation, the American Association of Physics Teachers, the
American Physical Society and many other more local organizations.

The Northern California group was divided into sub-groups serving
several smaller areas, and you were listed as an actual or intended
participant, with an email address under the Green "East Bay" group.
Each of the people who attended the meeting has a complete list of
phone numbers and work, home and email addresses for people in all
Northern California sub-groups.  This is an email to disseminate the
information for our first "East Bay" meeting.

Yesterday's meeting was heavily attended by "lab" people (people from
colleges, universities and national laboratories) so our main goal is
to reach K-12 physics teachers.  This group of teachers is of course
least likely to 1) have an email address and 2) use it regularly.

Note that *no* East Bay Physics Alliance group leaders beyond
yesterday's meeting were identified and that most of us are
volunteering our time.

The discussion leaders for the "East Bay" group meetings were:

Karen Street
