Donate old electronics for SWE event for teen girls on May 2nd

SWE Boston Members,

Do you have old electronics (telephones, radios, etc) that you need to get rid of?
How would you like to help a girl learn about engineering at the same time? (Besides, the garage needs to be cleaned out sometime.)
For our "Wow! That's Engineering!" SWE signature event next week for teen girls (May 2nd), we are looking for donations of old electronics for our "take-apart" portion of the event. The girls take apart old electronics to find out how they work. We need old telephones, radios, answering machines, etc. for 200 girls to take apart and explore!

If you have something to donate, please email Tracy at tcp@ieee.org. Here are the drop off options:

Bring to the SWE meeting on Tuesday April 28th at Analog Devices.
Bring to the event on May 2nd (at UMass Lowell), from 9-10:30 AM.
Email Tracy at tcp@ieee.org to arrange a drop-off.
The list of items we can use includes, but is NOT limited to, the following:

-Telephones
-Answering Machines
-Radios
-Computers, keyboards, printers (no monitors, please)
-Fax Machines
-VCR or DVD players
-Cameras
-Game consoles

Anything else you can think of
