Another great reason for members of this group to attend is that if you've never been to the J.A. Freitas Library before, you'll be impressed at what a comprehensive reference resource it is, and it might be of help in your research! Their web homepage is: http://www.mypfsa.org/library I can't seem to find an online listing of their holdings, but it's late here so my Googling skills are feeling a bit fuzzy :-) If someone else can locate it online, would you please post it to the group? Thanks.
Hope some of you are able to attend the event and meet everyone there! Katharine P.S. It's not that far from major freeways, as I recall.
