ATBI and Science Fair

I'm completely swamped trying to get the ATBI up and running (walking?) on many fronts. I'll send Nina the fund raising info ASAP, but it will probably be in March. Besides the ATBI, I have a trip scheduled soon to my field sites in Panama and Costa Rica. Thanks for announcing the Science Fair Awards. I've forwarded your request to Kitty Esco regarding funds for the Regional Science Fairs. She should make the logistics happen. This year we may not be organized in time to host trips to the Smokies. Hence, I advise that the prizes should only be cash awards with a rain check for an invitation to visit GSMNP at some later date. When I hear that the salamader page is ready, I'll let you know. I don't believe that the Web committee has submitted its prototype page yet. Another thing to do. Gasp. Please be patient with me. It's all coming together, but plugging volunteers into the bureaucracy, while struggling to avoid creating a new one, keeping the process democratic, and not offending too many soft egos is slower than one might wish. Best to Nina. Hope all goes well for you both. Cheers, Pick >Pick - It has now been about 6 weeks since the meeting in Gatlinburg.
