Those of you with paid-up memberships in the Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society should have received, in the last couple weeks, Ellipsaria 2(2).  Featured within the information-packed pages of that worthy periodical was the announcement of our next meeting, March 12 - 14 in Pittsburgh.

The meeting is being hosted by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.  Tom Proch (tproch@stargate.net) is The Man and the DoubleTree Hotel downtown is The Plan.  Information on the program, travel, accommodations, a registration form, and a first call for papers may be obtained at:

The FWGNA project will be a primary item on the agenda of the FMCS Committee on the Status & Distribution of Gastropods in Pittsburgh.  Everybody on this list is invited to attend and offer input.

See you there!
Rob
