Breakfast with Catherine (Cady) Coleman
Please join us for our first breakfast of 2012 on Friday, January 27, at the Greenfield Corporate Center, 101 Munson Street. Our speaker will be Dr. Catherine (Cady) Coleman who is a NASA Astronaut, a retired Air Force Colonel, and a veteran of 3 space flights. She returned this past May from a 6 month mission to the International Space Station as part of the Expedition 26 and 27 crews, launching and landing in Kazakhstan aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. Her international crew of 6 hosted a record number of supply ships and space shuttles.
The team took with them new modules, experiments and supplies to the space station which is certified to operate thru 2020. Cady, a UMass graduate and a polymer scientist by trade, participated in many of the 150 experiments aboard the space station in the areas of fluid physics, material science, technology demonstration and human physiology. She is excited to share her stories of life aboard the International Space Station with friends in Franklin County, her home away from Houston.
Reservations must be made by January 23. Breakfast will begin at 7:30 and conclude by 9 a.m. Make reservations by mail, phone (413.773-5463), fax (413.773-7008) or email.

Thanks to our sponsors Franklin Hampshire Career Center and Stoneleigh-Burnham School.
