Hi Folks:
We're laying the groundwork for Adam Cross' research visit to Meadowview in late June and early July of 2013. We're planning on Adam giving a talk on his Aldrovanda work but would like to expand this into a mini-symposium/plant show. Is there any interest by any vendors in setting up a booth for this event or is anyone else interested in speaking (hopefully focused on Aldrovanda but doesn't have to be). Who would be interested in attending?
The event is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of June 29th and we're not planning on charging for the event - free admission. Look forward to your input.
Sincerely,
Phil Sheridan, Ph.D.

Hi Folks:
We've posted the announcement for "Crossfest 2013!" on the ICPS EVENTS link and have paid the rental deposit on Town Hall. Is there anyone out there that wants to secure a vendor booth or who would like to speak about Aldrovanda please contact me. We will also be providing tours of the Central Virginia Preserve.
Sincerely,
Phil Sheridan, Ph.D.

Hi Folks: You can now register on-line for Crossfest at: www.pitcherplant.org/Newsletters/adam-cross-aldrovanda-vesiculosa-cross-fest-2013.htmlEven though there is no charge to attend (other than vendors) we do ask that you register so that we have some idea who is attending and the number of people attending. It looks like we might have a band Saturday night with a social and extend the symposium into Sunday for field trips. Things are shaping up very nicely and I hope you can attend. Sincerely, Phil Sheridan, Ph.D. Director Meadowview Biological Research Station |

Hi Folks: You can now register to attend Crossfest 2013 on our website at www.pitcherplant.org. Even though we aren't charging to attend we do ask that you register within 30 days of the conference so we have some idea of the number, and interest, of folks attending. Adam Cross has now booked his flight so we're all looking forward to his arrival and some really interesting discussions about Aldrovanda. Sincerely, Phil Sheridan, Ph.D. Director Meadowview Biological Research Station |

Hi Folks: We continue to receive registrations for Crossfest 2013 and are getting more and more excited about the event. Don't forget to register if you want to attend. Registration is found on our web site at www.pitcherplant.org. There is a very convenient hotel to the symposium (couple blocks walking distance) in downtown Bowling Green called Bowling Green Suites (http://bgsuites.com/). I suggest you make reservations now if you want a place to stay. There is also camping available (primitive, RV, or small cottage) at the nearby Hidden Acres campground (http://www.hiddenacresva.com/). Finally, a very few primitive campsites are available to selected guests on the Central Virginia Preserve. If you want to camp on the preserve please make arrangements now. The event will span two days - one day for the talks and vendor sales and the second day (Sunday) with tours of Meadowview, the Central VA Preserve, and John Hummers refuge. Look forward to seeing you the weekend of June 29. Sincerely, Phil Sheridan, Ph.D. Director Meadowview Biological Research Station |

Hi Folks:
We're all getting very excited about Crossfest and will have our program on-line in a couple days. We will have two different Aldrovanda t-shirts for sale (Meadowview has one and the other produced by the Carolina Carnivorous Plant Society). If you want to attend, make sure you register. While we won't turn you away if you just show up at the door, we would really appreciate it if you register so we have some idea who is attending.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Phil Sheridan, Ph.D.
