[Pollinator] Invitation to Oct 21-22 Pollinator Events. Please Help by Forwarding to Others

Tue Oct 13 11:37:17 PDT 2009

Invitation to THREE Special Pollinator Events in DC, Oct 21-22

As a "Busy as a Bee" Pollinator Supporter, you are invited! 

Why invitations to THREE pollinator events?  

*	First, the BRIEFING on Thursday will provide a wealth of information
on pollinators and climate change, the farm bill and research.  
*	Second, the two RECEPTIONS, on Wednesday and Thursday, are held at
two great locations.  They celebrate agriculture and pollinators and
international pollinator efforts, respectively (FYI, Honorary Host Committee
at the end of this e-mail).  

We know everyone's schedule is hectic.   Participate in one, two, or all
three, as your own schedule and interests allow.  Please help by forwarding
this invitation with others in the DC area who might be interested.

Thanks again!  Hope to see you buzzing around at one or more of the events.
