   so that we can work on the printed materials.]
   - Confirm with Carol you are going Friday field
trip<http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Summer_2011_Meeting#Off-Site_Activities>
participants
   (carolbmeyer at esipfed.org). We have a field trip wait list, email me if
   you want to be on it.

A few other notes: Keep thinking of FUNding
Friday<http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/FUNding_Friday>ideas.
Clusters, workgroups, this is a great way to get seed money before
you request a formal budget (previous
winners<http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Cool_Creations>).
Students can submit FUNding Friday ideas even if they are not at the
meeting. Be on the lookout for an email from Bruce Caron about his new
digital meeting poster service.
