BCD sat 21, 7pm, simulating climate change impacts in China
Beijing Community Dinner
Hello all,
A truly fascinating speaker and topic for BCD this Saturday 7pm: thanks to Grace for organizing this and see Dr John Moore's bio below.
Please RSVP if you want a seat – we expect a crowd. And please, given the increasing challenges of finding affordable, suitable venues for BCD, we don’t want no-shows –if you can’t come please cancel your RSVP 24 hours beforehand so we can give the seat/s to someone else. Nosson will be selling bread baked by our friends at www.crazybake.com.
Venue details will be sent later once we have an idea of numbers. See you Saturday!
