Maryland Day 2006
29 April 2006
 Last year, the weather didn't cooperate, but we still had a good time. This year, the weather will be awsome and we're gonna have a great time! So come out and join us for the 8th annual Maryland Day. The Astronomy Department will once again setup with other CMPS departments in front of the Math building.
