Our Spring Meeting will take place on Saturday, April 9 in Chase Hall at
Bates College in Lewiston.  The theme for the meeting is "The Future of
Plant Conservation in Maine" and a number of people have been working hard
on the planning: Hank Tyler, Christopher Campbell, Arthur Haines, Alison
Dibble, and Don Cameron.  I'll paste in the draft agenda below.

PLEASE if you receive this meeting notice, email me directly at
[log in to unmask] to let me know that you have it.  That way we can
save some postage.  (For all those that I have not heard from, I will be
sending out a paper notice next week.)  So, if you are reading this, email
me!

The meeting will begin at 9am and is scheduled to end at 3pm.  The
pre-registration cost is $12 (includes lunch at the Bates College
cafeteria).  Please make out a check payable to 'Rick Speer' and mail it to
me at the address below.  (Registration at the door will be $15.)
