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

[Olivia Kwong]

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

Because the talk on bioenergy may be a popular one, we are asking that you 
RSVP to me at plant at plantconservation.org.  This will allow us to make 
sure there are enough chairs for everyone.
