Greetings all;

I would like to remind you all that NEMO is having its annual meeting in
June and you are all invited. Note that there are several ways to attend.
The meeting pages describes these, but the following announcement provides
all the basic details. Hope you consider giving NEMO a try.

NEMO Annual Meeting

Come to the 20th Annual Meeting of the North East Map Organization, June
8-9, 2006, at the University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH.

The program includes a basic MAP CATALOGING workshop on Thursday afternoon
with instructors including: Paige Andrew of Penn State University, David
Bertuca of the University at Buffalo, and Nancy Kandoian of the New York
Public Library.  NEMO's traditional MAP SWAP will follow.  Then join us for
dinner together with Larry Mayer, Director of UNH's CENTER FOR COASTAL AND
OCEAN MAPPING.

The Friday morning panel on DIGITIZED HISTORICAL TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS will
include: Whitley Frost of Harvard University, Sarah Mindel of UConn, and
Thelma Thompson of UNH.  On Friday afternoon, we'll visit UNH's OCEAN
MAPPING facility in the Chase Ocean Engineering Building at UNH.  This
program, operated jointly by UNH and NOAA, is devoted to development of
state-of-the-art techniques in hydrography and related disciplines.

This is a great opportunity to enjoy northern New England in early June, to
see the University of New Hampshire campus and library, and to network with
map lovers and map professionals from all over the Northeast.  Join us!
