Another year comes and goes. The time is here again for the Insect Open house at Texas A&M at College Station. Last year there was a forum member here joining me to the trip. THere are mostly insect hobbyists and entomologists, both amatuers and experts visiting the event. It was fun last year, hopefully this one will have lot of fun too. Thought I would share this info. Following are the details.

RE: TAMU Insect Collection open house, January 9, 2010
Dear Colleagues:
You are cordially invited to the annual "open house" of the Texas A&M
University Insect Collection to meet with others who share an interest
in the study of Texas insects. This is the 22nd consecutive annual
meeting, and we hope to have another excellent gathering this year.
Each year our meeting attracts a diverse group of people -
professional and amateur - with a broad range of interests. There is
no formal program, but it will be a chance to show off new
curiosities, and to catch up on the past year's news and collecting
stories. Please feel free to invite newcomers who share our interest.
The event will be on Saturday, January 9th. The entire day will be
spent at the Minnie Belle Heep Building (a.k.a., “ the Heep Center”).
Starting time will be around 9 to 10 AM. Meeting areas will be
available on the 2nd floor of the atrium adjacent to the TAMU Insect
Collection room (Room 216). Lunch will be on your own. The atrium
meeting areas and the Texas A&M University Insect Collection will be
open for the remainder of the afternoon.
Parking will be available in lot no. 67 on the east side of the
building. No special permit is required for parking on Saturday.
All collections will be open for browsing as usual. If any of you
would like uninterrupted "quality time" working in the collections, I
suggest you arrive a day early or stay a day late. Please let me know
in advance, and I will make arrangements for collection access on
Friday evening and/or the following Sunday morning.
Spread the word. Hope to see you on January 9th!
Sincerely,
Edward G. Riley
Associate Curator
