organizer. Each application should
include the name, address, and title of the applicant, an email address if
available, and a one-page description of the project. Applications should be

Recommendation for Presenters
A recommendation from Jim Tattersall, " Presenters may wish to bring
25-50 copies of more detailed accounts to hand out to interested parties.
Presenters may also wish to bring blank stick-on mailing labels and ask
those interested in more materials to sign up on the mailing labels."
If you wish to rent a computer, the Audio-Visual Coordinator of the
Meetings & Conferences Department of the AMS can give the name of the
local vendor who is supplying equipment for the meeting. You will need to
handle the ordering and payment yourself.
Submission date has been extended to January 2, 2000. Application procedure
same as original call. Additional submitters will be notified within a week
of their submission. An example submission is provided below.

Summary
Wind, Water and Waves is a four-week Young Scholars program at Seattle
University designed for middle school girls and offered in partnership
with Boeing, KCM (an environmental consulting firm) and Totem Girl Scout
Council.
The students do what America's top scientists do every day:
perform experiments and gather data; analyze the results with charts,
graphs and computers; ask questions about the significance of the
outcomes. They also work with scientists on research projects; use
their knowledge and skills to serve the community; learn about career
opportunities, develop trust and friendships; become part of a local
network and a worldwide community.
