Our Holiday Potluck and meeting (first in-person meeting since March

March 2020.

6pm.   The cost is $10 to cover items supplied by the Society and can
be paid at the door.

Gabe Johnson, our outgoing President, will be giving the Presidential
Address at 7pm.

The 7pm Presentation Topic: "Deepwater Algal Collection in Puerto Rico
and the Caribbean" by David L. Ballantine and Hector Ruiz with Special
Preface by BSW President, Gabriel Johnson.

This will be a hybrid presentation so that those unable to attend in
person will be able to see the presentation on Zoom.
