Good morning--
=20
I usually do not use our list serve for anything other than our =
activities,
but since I am speaking at this conference and doing a workshop, I =
thought I
would let everyone know about it. If you wish to attend, and want to =
drive
(@7hours) rather than fly, let me know right away as I need to make =
flight
arrangements ASAP.
