Why?
It may be the greatest question of all. Why? It’s born of wonder and curiosity. Why? It makes us think and makes us better. Why? It moves us forward. Join us at the Buffalo Museum of Science and explore WHY!
Join us Saturday, April 13th at 11am. Adults, children, and friends of alumni are all welcome at this guided tour of the Marvelous Earth, Explore You, and Artifacts Studio exhibits. After the guided tour, enjoy your packed lunch in the reserved room with the alumni club. The rest of the museum is yours to explore!
The $9 ticket price includes admission into the entire museum (including the Art of the Brick exhibit) and guided tour. Adult/child tickets are the same price – ticket price cannot be used in conjunction with BMS membership.
Children ages 2 and up need a ticket to attend. Limited to 20 attendees
Registration and more information available here.

The September 4th ( 1st Tuesday, the day after Labor Day) Cornell Club Book Club Meeting will be hosted by Eli Kaufman. Eli has chosen the book Grandfather Stories by Samuel Hopkins Adams.
From Wikipedia: “
Grandfather Stories is a book of 23 historical tales by journalist and novelist
Samuel Hopkins Adams. Three were originally published in
Woman’s Day and 15 in
The New Yorker. Most of the stories take place in
upper New York State, along the
Erie Canal. Those stories told by his grandfather occur in the 1820s; others, when Adams was a boy in the 1870s and 1880s. Adams does not state how much of the tales is fact and how much is fiction; some are clearly his own memoirs, others are historical fiction, and still others seem to be a reconstruction of his grandfather’s life experiences.
