PNWNAS next Saturday

[Randy LeVeque]

Dear PNWNAS groupies,

The PNWNAS is coming up next Saturday.  Titles and abstracts of the talks
are now available, see below.   Please register this week if you haven't
already so we'll have enough food and drink.  The building should be open with
coffee, tea, fruit, and bagels available by 9:45.

Please help advertise this meeting by passing this message on to others in
your organization who may be interested.  And encourage students to come!

Thanks,
 - Randy
