Bring your Significant Other and join us for an evening of space exploration. Our special Guest Speaker Ron Hobbs will share current NASA missions and ways in which everyone can ride along on the adventure. Food and drinks catered by McCormick & Schmicks. 
Help us raise funds for ASHRAE Research while stocking your wine cellar in the Wine Survivor Challenge. Purchase a $20 ticket and bring a bottle of wine. We’ll randomly remove people from Wine Island throughout the evening until there is only one survivor left. The final survivor takes home all the wine! More details HERE.

We Are All Explorers
Since its beginning 240 years ago, the United States has been the Exploration Nation. For the past fifty-plus years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has led the exploration of the worlds of the Solar System. Now the internet age allows citizens to participate in that exploration, from just enjoying the views to processing the pictures, to doing “citizen science.”
