Default Re: Tissue Culture Workshop in Plametto, Florida

This looks like it's going to be a replay of our attempt to run a TC workshop last year. I had gotten a couple of e-mails ffom Bob Cannon and, the other day, one from Carol also. As I'm in New York, and the conference was to be in Florida, it involved a little planning, and cash outlay, on my part. When I figured I had the flights and hotel figured out, I thought that I'd better get signed up for this thing, so i'd have some place to go, when I got to FL. I sent an e-mail to Carol, asking if I could still sign up, and she said I could, at her web site. When I got there, I saw that she had one scheduled for Rutgers University, two weeks after the Florida one. Since going to the one in Florida would set me back about six or seven hundred bucks, and Rutgers is a half hour drive from my home, I asked if I could go to that one instead, if there was room, and the date was firm.
She came back and said the date for New Jersey (July24) was not firm, and they only had 2 people signed up for it, and only 5 for FL, so she doubted either one would go off. Now if we could get a lot of people from NY/NJ/PA to sign on, we could get the one at Rutgers to go.

PS - There's one in California, acouple of weeks, after NJ, that's sold out with a waiting list!
