Cancellation of After ELUNA get together Sept 9, at the Smithsonian
by Picken, Suzanne May 31, 2017

May 31, 2017

Due to lack of presentation submissions from folks who attended ELUNA, we unfortunately need to cancel our after ELUNA get together which was scheduled for Friday, June 9, 2017. Kim and I had felt that this would be a wonderful opportunity for those who were not able to attend ELUNA to come and hear what those who did had to report on sessions they attended. But, since there were only two submissions, we felt that the session would not be very useful to attendees. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused but we think that you, too, will agree that the meeting would not be very meaningful without more presenters. We are hopeful that we will have an annual meeting this year in DC and do wish you will consider attending. More to follow on that. Thank you for your understanding.
