UIS Commission on Karst Hydrogeology and Speleogenesis
As you know, this is the Karst Division's very first annual meeting, we are thrilled to be in existence as a formal GSA Division, and we have planned a number of sessions and activities for our inaugural year.  I would like to personally invite you to attend the KD's very first social gathering as a Division at GSA Baltimore.
 
Our social gathering will be held Monday, November 2, in Room 345/346 of the Baltimore Convention Center from 5:30 to 7 pm.  There will be a cash bar.  You are welcome to bring guests.  Please RSVP by Oct. 18 via EventBrite: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/gsa-karst-division-social-tickets-18916894942 .  
 
Additionally, please feel free to check out any of our sessions while you are wandering the Convention Center.
