Dear BSA Members

Good morning! We'd like your opinion.

We ask for your response. As you know, BSA will be celebrating its centennial when we meet at Chico State University, California, in 2006. In the last & current issues of the PSB, you read about the various plans underway to help make this a very special event. However, a decision has yet to be made on a theme for the meeting. The Centennial Committee would like your opinion before they present a recommendation to the spring Executive Committee meeting on April 8th. The possible themes identified thus far are:

1. Looking to the Future - Conserving the Past ( 1wdahl@botany.org )
2. Green Earth - Blue Planet ( 2wdahl@botany.org )
3. Plant a Seed - Sow the Future ( 3wdahl@botany.org )
4. Plants are Us ( 4wdahl@botany.org )
5. Growing Our Future, Conserving Our Past ( 5wdahl@botany.org )
6. Planting Our Future, Conserving Our Past ( 6wdahl@botany.org )
7. Other Theme Ideas ( 7wdahl@botany.org )

Thus, please take a minute to think about the theme and respond to the committee. If you are pleased with one of the above choices, and if the choices appear as links in your browser, please click your favorite, type yes into the email header, and push send. If the choices do not appear as links, please use the email address beside your choice and forward your choice, ideas and thoughts to the committee. Also, any ideas for making the centennial meeting extra special would be greatly appreciated.

Stay tuned. In the next issue of the PSB the design for the Centennial Medallion will be revealed.

Sincerely,

Jack Horner
Chair - BSA Centennial Committee
