Subject: Beginning Group of Greater Miami Valley Math Circle (GMVMC)

To people in the greater Miami Valley area and beyond,

As some of you might recall, Wright State University faculty, alumni, and parents together kicked off 'WSU Math Clubs' last September. Since faculty members from other universities joined and we wanted to expand our horizon further, we changed its name to the Greater Miami Valley Math Circle. If you do not know much about what a math circle is, please visit and browse these websites:
     National Association of Math Circles http://www.mathcircles.org/
     The Math Circle http://themathcircle.org/
     Math Teachers' Circle Network http://www.mathteacherscircle.org/
(The National Association of Math Circles provides a support structure for Math Circles and similar programs. Specific organizational goals include maintenance of a database of existing programs, recruitment of new Math Circle chapters, and sustainment of the National Association of Math Circles Website (http://mathcircles.org).)

In the beginning, we sent out an email to form a group of middle-school students. After receiving a few requests from parents of high-school students, we decided to begin two (say, middle-level and high-level) groups of students who are enthusiastic about learning mathematics and enriching their knowledge.

The high-level group of students created their website, http://iis.stat.wright.edu/GMVMC.High. By browsing the site, you will see the seminar information of "The Wonders of Probability", that was presented by Dr. Po-Shen Loh, who is a professor at Carnegie-Melon University and the National Lead Coach for the US International Math Olympiad Team. Last Saturday, March 21, his excellent presentations were attended and enjoyed by about 130 middle- and high-school students as well as their parents and teachers.

The popularity of our math circle activities has made the middle-level group bigger than anticipated, with students in a wide range of grades from 4 through 9. This gave instructors some difficulties when choosing topics to discuss and with handling a wide range of students' skills. Thus, we have decided to form a newer 'Beginning Group' of students who want to deal with topics of 5th, 6th, and 7th grade mathematics. (This fall after our summer break, we will have three different groups: Beginning (roughly grades 5-7), Intermediate (roughly grades 7-9), and Advanced (roughly grades 10-12).

Our plan for this new Beginning Group is to meet twice a month, say the 2nd and 4th Saturdays in April and May, beginning on Saturday April 11th. Sessions will be held on the second floor of the Math and Microbiological Sciences (MM) Building at Wright State University from 10:30am to Noon on those days. Currently, we assess a $10-per-semester membership fee. However, if you pay $20 to join now, it would extend your membership to the full year of 2015-2016 activities.

Please email me (mseoh@siscom.net) if your children are interested in joining this newly-formed Beginning Group.

Sincerely,

Munsup Seoh and Jason Knapp
Co-Founders, Greater Miami Valley Math Circle

Subject: H-1B Story on Facebook

Greetings, Welcome Dayton Advocates!

You may have noticed a new blog post on the Welcome Dayton site this afternoon about this month's H-1B closure and the limiting effect it has on hiring skilled immigrant labor in Dayton. We just posted it not too long ago on Facebook, and we already have some vocal opponents sharing their thoughts: https://www.facebook.com/WelcomeDayton/posts/821207867970418

I invite each of you to read the article linked in the Facebook post and refer to the talking points attached to this email. I encourage you to share your thoughts and viewpoints regarding this topic on the Facebook post to provide a balanced perspective to the conversation.
