Hi Jason,

I wanted to send you this information about the California Botanical
Society Annual Banquet and Meeting to be held in Davis on April 14.

Could you spread the word to your students and the department? Note that
the student rate is $30 and the field trips are $5. So, students can attend
for very cheap.
