BPS Fossil Exhibit will be shown in the Ellenburg Art Gallery at the Homewood Public Library all month. There will be an Open House on August 27th, and the exhibit ends August 31, 2006.
BPS regular monthly meetings are held on the 1st Monday of each month at the McWane Science Center.
Program:
Bring fossils and other display items/stands, labels, etc., and ideas, so we can see what we have and/or need for the August exhibit (to be set up on Saturday, July 29.)
Park in the deck on "Level C", go through doors marked Special Event Center, and follow signs to meeting. The business meeting begins at 7:00, followed by the program around 7:45 or 8pm.
A relatively small group of BPS members went to a creek in Montgomery County for today's trip - could it be some people were scared off by the thoughts of 95 degree weather in the sweltering sun?
Today BPS went way down south to Clarke County, Alabama. We were quite excited because this was a new site Steve found, and we were chomping at the bit, ready to go.

Sylvie Mrug sent this announcement:
Dear friends,
We are happy to announce that Elias Mrug was born on Tuesday, May 23, at noon (just on time for lunch - and he has not stopped eating since!). He weighed 8 lbs, 7 oz (3.8 kg) and was 20.5 in (52 cm) long. He has lots of dark hair and is just adorable! We went home from the hospital on Thursday and are now recuperating and adjusting to a new life.
Hope all is well with all of you!
Sylvie and Michal
