<div>I'm writing in case any of you would like a spring fling in
delightful Keene this weekend and have not registered for the NECQL
meeting.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Eileen and Shari have put together a great program (I've copied
part of the website below) and I hope you can join us.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Charlotte Gregory from Trinity had some trouble registering on
line a while ago, and in case any of you experienced problems, I'm
including the weblink again (it's functioning fine now).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Hope to see you there, compare notes, plan for the future.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Happy spring,</div>
