3. Please invite your students to attend the lecture.

4. When telling people about the banquet Monday night in the ballroom, please invite them to come and mill about starting at 5:30. We'll eat at 6:00. In the past we've said 6:00, so people arrive at 6:15....

5. Remember that Ed will be speaking Tuesday morning, in two one-hour blocks:
   • 9:30 - 10:30
   • 10:45 - 11:45
   The topics will be something along the lines of "Effective Thinking" and "Successful Teaching Techniques" (although I've had at one vote to have Ed talk about recruitment and retention of majors, and another to have him talk about their math major program). There's still time to weigh in! The "seminar" Tuesday morning will be in room 111 on the first floor of AST.

   It's a nice space, and there will be refreshments!

6. There is a sign-up sheet in the office for the following:
   • Banquet
   • Tuesday seminar (Sue's office)
   • Sunday night dinner at an expensive restaurant on the department (Sue's office)
   Please sign up!
