<p>Hi, all. We're going to have a FERM Quarterly Meeting on Wednesday evening, November 20th. The meeting will begin at 5:30 PM
<b>in the Museum Classroom</b> (ENTMU 103), with the presentation starting around 6.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The speaker will be Bob Anderson, from the Canadian Museum of Nature, and the talk will be <span style="font-size:11.0pt">“Hunting for Weevils: Will we ever be done?”</span>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We will provide pizza (including vegetarian options) and beverages, as usual, but need to know how many people want to attend so we can plan accordingly: PLEASE send an RSVP to
<a href="mailto:dyanega@gmail.com">dyanega@gmail.com</a> stating if you plan to attend.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If all goes well, we expect to have food available around 5:30, and the talk should start shortly after 6. Feel free to bring along non-pizza food or other beverages if you are inclined, but please let us know in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Given how infrequent these meetings have been since COVID, there may be new people in the department unfamiliar with FERM, so I'll give a brief explanation: FERM is a non-profit group, Friends of the Entomology Research Museum, that takes small donations
from private individuals and funds things like visiting curators (like Bob Anderson), small field trips, and equipment purchases related to the Museum and its various activities. Members are asked to contribute $10 per year, but larger donations are accepted.
<b>Non-members are still welcome to attend our meetings, but we would encourage you to join if you think you might do so regularly</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Take care, <o:p></o:p></p>
