Post Conference Social:

Betsy and Kevin graciously volunteered their house again for a social event following the conference on Saturday. For those of you who missed last year's social, it was a splendid way to finish the conference, and it provided an opportunity for the faculty,graduate students, and presenters to come together and talk in a non-threatening environment.

When: Saturday night (4/26) after the conference (6-7:30 or so)
Where: 1418 6th St. S. Fargo (Birmingham-Brooks home)
Why: wine and snacks and conversation
