[Smec2019] SMEC symposiums

[Surendra Saxena]

Arun,

I confirm that the ship is celebrity equinox and the sailing date is March 30. Several reservations have already been made. If you need a three or four person cabin, please hurry up. It is likely that you have missed the messages from the travel agent Nancy Molina who has sent several emails about the trip. Let me know if I could do something.

 Naurang has already set up a website. I am hoping the meeting will be announced on Compres by Chen and by others as appropriate. Nancy Molina has sent letters to everyone on our mailing list. I believe we will have a very successful meeting.

I will begin sending invitation letters tomorrow to those who have asked me.

Look forward to being with you at the meeting.

Surendra
