895th Meeting

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008 at 7:00 P.M.


Members' Night

As in the past, our September "Members' Night" will provide an opportunity
for several members to share some of their botanical travel or research
slides, or to present other short subjects (10 minutes or less) to which
this format is especially suited. Members who plan to present slides
should send an email to Pat Ford at p2zamora@....

There will be a projector and laptop available for powerpoint
presentations or other digital media that you bring on a CD or USB drive.
If you have actual slides, let it be known so there can be sure to be a
carousel projector available.


Location: Cathy Kerby Room (Room CE-340)
on the third floor of the new East Court building
Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History

As usual, light refreshments will be served following the presentation.

Pre-meeting dinner: 5:30 P.M. at the Elephant & Castle Pub and Restaurant,
1201 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington. Phone 202-347-7707. The
restaurant is
diagonally across from the Old Post Office Pavilion at 12th and
Pennsylvania, a few blocks from the Museum, with Federal Triangle the
nearest Metro station, and
