Discover Entomology at Texas A&M University

TAMU Insect Collection Open House Jan. 12, 2008

You are cordially invited to the annual "open house" of the Texas A&M
University Insect Collection to meet with others who share an interest
in the study of Texas insects. This is the 20th consecutive annual
meeting, and we hope to have another excellent gathering this year. Each
year our meeting attracts a diverse group of people - professional and
amateur - with a broad range of interests. There's no formal program,
but it will be a chance to showoff new curiosities, catch up on the past
year's news and collecting stories. Please feel free to invite newcomers
who share our interest.

The event will be on Saturday, January 12th. The entire day will be
spent at the Minnie Belle Heep Building. Starting time will be around 9 to 10 AM.
Meeting areas will be available on the 2nd floor of the atrium adjacent
to the TAMU Insect Collection rooms (Room 216). Lunch will be on your
own. The atrium meeting areas and the Texas A&M University Insect
Collection will be open for the remainder of the afternoon.

Parking will be available in lot no. 67 on the east side of the
building. No special permit is required for parking on Saturday.

All collections will be open for browsing as usual. If any of you would
like uninterrupted "quality time" working in the collections, I suggest
you arrive a day early or stay a day late. Please let me know in
advance, and I will make arrangements for collection access on Friday evening and/or the following Sunday morning.

Spread the word. Hope to see you on the 12th!

Sincerely,

Edward G. Riley
Associate Curator
