Title: Meeting at Vassar College
Just in case any of you are within striking distance of Vassar (Poughkeepsie NY) this weekend, I invite you to attend the meeting on Saturday. There are still openings for the workshop too ($10). If you want to come please email me (schwarz@vassar.edu) and let me know your name and if you want to come to the workshop. The reg fee is $5 for members of the NY state section and $15 for non-members. The breakfast and lunch is free as Vassar is paying for it. I need counts on people though so if you plan to come please email me. You can pay on site.
