> Uwe Hanson called me about the fall Indiana Academy of Science

> (or adding) a fall event I was wondering what folks on this list
> thought about the idea. Their fall meeting runs Thursday and Friday
> (October 25/26). If we wanted to add Friday night/Saturday morning
> activities for any interested IAS members to join us it might work
> out, or there may be some other way we could be involved. I'm
> certainly not trying to push for this, but I am a bit discouraged
> about the turnout in Terre Haute, and it would be nice to find some
> way to improve that for next time. Anyway, share your thoughts if you
> have a minute.
