Subject: Meeting on Sept. 6 + Chestnut news

Members' night is coming up a week from tomorrow on Tuesday, September 6, at 
7pm.

There's still time to sign up if you would like to make a 5-10 minute
presentation on a botanical topic. To do so, write to Gabe Johnson at:
JohnsonG at si.edu

The "room" will open about 15 minutes early for a bit of time for
some pre-meeting socializing.
