Everyone I am sorry to inform you we have cancelled the Clivia get together next March. We were asked to give up our reservation dates for the Symposium, 2004. Other dates available were either too early or much too late. After consultation with Jim Comstock, we decided to hold the next conference on the last weekend in March, 2005. Mark this new date in your calenders and overseas people now have extended time to save their pennies for the trip. We will have a small non-competitive show and there will be sales as well. Any-one contemplating giving a talk or presentation, however tentative, please contact me as soon as possible. Likewise if you plan on attending or plan on sales please let me know so I can do the long-term planning. thank you Harold Prof. Harold Koopowitz Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of California, Irvine, CA 92697
