Unfortunately, as we all know, that session got cancelled because of snow. I have rescheduled it for Frebruary the 24th from 1:00 to 3:00 at Arhcives II, College Park. I know that for many of you that is an awkward location. Hence, we will try to stagger meeting locaitons, going to DC next meeting and, perhaps, Northern Virginia for future meetings. The agenda remains the same.

Please be there - there is so much to get going!
