January 19-20, 2002
        AAPT, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The National meeting for the AAPT was held in Philadelphia. CLEA had a nice turnout of 17 participants.  The workshop went well, but we had to trek through the snow to Temple University where the CLEA workshop was held.

Many thanks to Kevin Lee and the Astronomy group at University of Nebraska, Lincoln.  Dr. Larry Marschall delivered two public talks for a Physics and Astronomy colloquium.  The title of the talks were "The Search for Extra Solar Planets" and "The Supernova Story", which was also open to the public.  They were well attended.
Dick Cooper conducted a CLEA workshop during the two day event.  Contrary to popular belief, the weather was quite warm in Nebraska in January.

A CLEA presentation was conducted for the parents of students at Gettysburg College.  It was a full house.  To round out the weekend, there was an open house at the observatory on Friday night.

It was the host for the Arkansas-Oklahoma-Kansas section of the AAPT.  Dick Cooper did two workshops at the meeting with a full house at both.  Thanks to Karen Williams for housing a great event along with Russian Cosmonauts!

The North East Regional meeting of the AAPT was held at Bridgewater State College.  Program Chair Frederick Wolf pulled together a well attended meeting which included a packed CLEA workshop.  It was nice to meet folks with a strong interest in Project CLEA.
