annual picnic/ business meeting

Sunday September 28th at noon the Lane County Geographical Society will hold its annual picnic/ business meeting. This is an opportunity to gather with geographers throughout Lane County, including professionals, teachers and researchers. Feel free to spread the message to any geography-related people you know. We're attempting to get a more reliable sense of who out there would be interested in becoming a part of this organization. In the coming year we would like to have some events such as helping connect students at the University of Oregon with geography professionals. Getting a better sense of who the 'geography community' is can help us design these types of events.

The picnic/ business meeting will begin at noon on the 28th at the Hendricks Park shelter and go until about 5:00 or so. Please bring a dish to share and maybe some drinks. We will provide a couple of coolers with ice as well as plates, cups and utensils. There will also be an opportunity to BBQ so you can also bring grill-ables.

Again, please forward this along to people. My list is woefully incomplete.

Thanks and hope to see you all there,
Leslie McLees
President,
Lane County Geographical Society
