<p>Hi, all.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We have now settled on a speaker and a date for this year's FERM Annual Meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The date is Saturday, March 9th, and the speaker will be Ian Wright, formerly from UCR, but now curator of Natural History at the refurbished Museum of Riverside (formerly the Riverside Municipal Museum). He will be talking about nature photography (macro
and otherwise), largely dealing with insects. It is likely to be similar to his departmental seminar, given recently, though probably not identical.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Ian will be bringing along some canvas prints of his photos for the post-talk Auction, as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>For those who are unfamiliar with FERM, it is the Friends of the Entomology Research Museum, a non-profit support group, from which donations and membership fees are used to fund purchases of materials or services that benefit the Museum (such as visiting
curator stipends). Non-members are welcome to attend the meeting, but we would appreciate it if you consider becoming a member; annual dues are only $10.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>See <a href="https://entmuseum.ucr.edu/ferm">https://entmuseum.ucr.edu/ferm</a> for more information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The usual routine will be followed for the meeting, namely:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The meeting will be in the main Entomology Building, ground floor conference room (<b>not</b> in the Museum).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>Dinner begins at 6, the talk begins at 7</b>, and the auction comes after the talk. People responsible for setup will be there around 5:15 to get the room prepared.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Dinner is pot luck, and we ask that people who are able to, to please bring entrees that can feed at least 4 people; if you
<b>can't</b> bring an entree, then snacks or desserts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>FERM will provide cups, plates, utensils, a few snacks, and plenty of beverages.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>It is helpful but not necessary to send an RSVP (to <a href="mailto:dyanega@gmail.com">
dyanega@gmail.com</a>), to assist us in our planning.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Campus parking is actually easy; the BLUE section of Lot 6, right near Entomology, has free parking on weekends. See
<a href="https://transportation.ucr.edu/visitor-parking">https://transportation.ucr.edu/visitor-parking</a> if you want visible proof of the policy.

<p class="MsoNormal">Peace, <o:p></o:p></p>
