[Imc-newsroom] Re: Climate Survey / News

[nancy dietrich]

IMC news-

I'll be at the survey meeting today to cover it, and it will be great to
have Mark and Molly help.

I'll be able to make the Sun. meeting for the survey.  

I didn't get a MD recorder and it's good that Mark will bring one since
he probably knows how to run it better.
