The ANA has finalized their schedule for the upcoming convention in Chicago.
 
JRCS will have our annual meeting on Wednesday morning at 8:30AM in room 7 of the Stephens Convention Center.  We hope to see you there.
 
There will be a journal coming out just before the convention.  I do still, however, need some content.  Please consider sending something for inclusion in the next issue ASAP.
 
Thanks.
