2009 Schedule

Following is the TOGA outreach schedule as of March, 2009.  There are a few uncertain dates, and of course, new activities may develop.  Some of the events require a number of volunteers to man the TOGA display in shifts, so volunteers are always welcome.  Please contact Vic Spain at vicspain@rocketmail.com if you would like to add a new event or change/clarify the info.   This schedule will be periodically updated.  * Denotes an event sponsored by TOGA.  All others are community events with TOGA participation.
