Dear Mound Citizens,

A color flyer for the May 1 lecture with flintknapper Larry Kinsella -- courtesy
of the Missouri Historical Society -- is now available on-line at
http://moundcity.missouriarchaeology.org/lectures/2007/pdf/MCAS20070501.pdf . To
open this PDF file, you'll need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free copy of
which you can download at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html .

Please help us promote this lecture by printing off some copies and posting them
in places like your local coffee shop, book store, community center, church, or
school.

One more note about next week's lecture: Please be aware that May 1 is also a
Twilight Tuesday concert night at the History Museum (the talented Denise Thimes
will be performing). Like the I-64 Reconstruction Project, this event may create
traffic and parking challenges for some of us, but I hope that you will look for
and find opportunities to overcome these inconveniences, such as arriving at the
museum a little earlier than usual, carpooling with friends, or riding the Metro
(there's a Metrolink station just one block north of the museum -- visit
http://www.metrostlouis.org/ for more information).

Your feedback on this or any other topic is always welcome. Please feel free to
contact me if you have any comments or suggestions.

Looking forward to a great program next Tuesday,

Greg
