[seek-logistics] poster printing

[Deana Pennington]

Hi all,

If you plan to do a poster for the SEEK AHM & site review, please let me 
know so that I can arrange hanging space.

We can print the poster for you here at UNM so that you don't have to 
find a plotter, and you don't have to carry the poster on the airplane.  
If you would like us to print for you, please:

-Let me know the poster is coming so we know how many we are going to 
need to deal with.
-Marsh White here at LNO has graciously offered to handle the printing.  
Please send him your ppt no later than close of business this Thursday, 
so that he has time to get them all printed and still get his other work 
done.  mwhite at LTERnet.edu

Thanks,
Deana
