Hi Scott,

I'm a volunteer for BCIV, which has a potluck dinner event on June 28 which
I thought may be of interest to ASP Postdocs and GRAs (please see below 
and attached).

Attending the event does require membership in BCIV, which costs $15/year,
and also bringing a dish to share (like a tossed salad, or cookies).

I'm happy to field any questions if you decide to share the info w/ your 
group,
and anyone has questions.

Thanks, Cindy
