Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, September 6, and as has been the case 
for a number of years, it will be Members' Night.  The September "Members' 
Night" provides an opportunity for several members to share some of 
their botanical travel or research slides, or to present other short 
subjects (10 minutes or less) to which this format is especially suited. 
Members who plan to present slides should send an email to Gabe Johnson 
<JohnsonG at si.edu>.
