--------------------------------------------------------------

The next BSW meeting will be at 7pm on January 9 because of the regular 
first Tuesday date's proximity to the holidays  And, as the government is 
funded through the 19th, there should be no problem with the mmuseum 
being closed.....

The speaker will be Vicki Funk.

Her topic:  Collections in an era of genomes: More important than ever
