[MPWG] PCA: Bimonthly Meeting Agenda for May 9, 2007 (Arlington, VA)

[Olivia Kwong]

Slight change to the talk title.  Anyone that is interested is invited to 
come to the meeting.  This message has been cross-posted to all the PCA 
discussion lists.

If you happen to be sure that you'll attend, please RSVP to me at 
plant at plantconservation.org.  We're just looking to get a rough estimate 
of how many people will be coming in case we need more chairs.
