April Networking Mixer

Thanks to all those who attended NorCal BMA's "Mondo Atomic" mixer on April 17. We hope you had a great time and made some valuable networking contacts.

Mike Tubbs, facilities director for BMA, officiated at the contest for two two door prizes. Attendees had to guess the number of atomic tests that the US conducted between 1945 and 1962.

Using Wikipedia as the source for the answer. The correct guess ... perhaps shockingly to some... is that 331 total atmospheric nuclear tests conducted by the United States. Attendee guesses ranged from 7 to 5600!

The winners (closest correct answer without going over) are:
Charles Yun from Comerica Bank. Charles guessed a total of 225 tests.He won the vivid red retro '50's "ball" clock.
Rachel Bakker from Palm, Inc. guessed 179 tests and so won the book,"Survival City".

By the way, Mike Googled "atomic marketing" on the web and came up with no less than 20 firms that use the word "atomic" in their name! If you want to learn more about popular culture in the Atomic Age, check out www.conelrad.com, which has tons of information about "all things Atomic".

Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you at future BMA events!
