This is just a reminder that we have a meeting scheduled for next Thurs. from noon-1:00.  Feel free to bring your lunch for another "brown bag" BPAC meeting.  We have several Action Items to follow-up on, plus some new discussion topics.

But seriously, although this particular project is out of budget (but shows that some places in the world ...Continue Reading
