First Annual Celebration

Battelle Auditorium
900 Battelle Blvd.
Richland, WA
You are cordially invited to the first annual celebration of the Mid-Columbia Basin Old Natural Education Sciences (MCBONES) Research Center Foundation. The centerpiece of this organization is the research being conducted at the Coyote Canyon Mammoth Site, site of a 17,500-year-old Columbian Mammoth.
Please join us to celebrate our efforts to excavate and study the Coyote Canyon Mammoth and its environs and to provide local teachers, students, and citizen scientists an opportunity to actively participate in field and laboratory-based research. These efforts are furthering our mission to develop a premier regional resource for supplementing traditional curricula for educating and training the next generation of scientists and engineers, and to spark scientific inquiry throughout the community.
We look forward to sharing with you our major accomplishments through 2012, and to honor the students, teachers, and volunteers who made significant contributions. We also want to let you know what we are planning for 2013.
Please come and enjoy some light hors d'oeuvres, socialize with the principal scientists and fellow volunteers, and participate in a silent auction to support continued research and education at the Coyote Canyon Mammoth Site.
Please RSVP or call 509-946-8050.
