Newsletter Hiatus Due to the winter recess, Watt's Up will take a hiatus for the next two weeks. The next issue will be published on Jan. 6, 2011. Have a wonderful break!
OSC Mystery Hunt Starts in January
A puzzle will be sent out via e-mail at the beginning of each month and featured in the Watt's Happening section of the subsequent newsletter. The answer to that first clue will lead you to the second clue, and then the solution to that puzzle will lead you on to the third, and so on. ... Answers will be revealed in Watt's Up, and prizes will be awarded at the SOCk-sponsored Community Speakers lecture series. Next month's winners will receive gift certificates to Brooklyn Pizza (for first place) and Starbucks (for second and third places).
