No, I'm not trying to rush things here-- it's just that Bates College has
confirmed our request for our Spring meeting date: Saturday, April 4, 2009
at Chase Hall, Bates College in Lewiston.  Continue enjoying the summer and
fall, but please mark your calendars.  The meeting will probably follow our
regular pattern of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m--more details will follow early in the
new year.
