Greetings Folks,
Here is another notice of our upcoming ANNUAL meeting for ATEG.
Since the dates for the actual conference were omitted from the last SIS
(note evasive passive there... 'twas I, Rebecca, new SIS Editor, who
inadvertently omitted the conference dates, a fact cloaked by the above
agentless passive), I reprint here. The following is taken from our
hosts' wonderful and informative website:
