We need to confirm the lunch/coffee catering order by noon tomorrow and want to make sure we have enough food/drink for everyone. There are no restaurants within walking distance of the event location.

Plus, as Damien mentioned yesterday, the first 40 registrants will receive a free copy of the newly published "New Invaders of the Northeast and Northcentral United States”.
This is open to the public so please share widely.

Dear members,

Please Join MAIPC for a quick workshop about wavyleaf basketgrass (WLBG) and learn about MAIPC's upcoming efforts to find a biocontrol vector for this invasive plant. Dr. Vanessa Beauchamp from Towson will give several talks about the ecology and life history of this plant, and then you, the MAIPC members, will join the board in discussing how to fund and find a biocontrol organism for WLBG. Dr. Beauchamp has done significant research on the life history and ecology of wavyleaf basketgrass, and her recent research has focused on riparian restoration in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

Also on the agenda is Nancy Ribicki. She is leading an effort to located and eradicate a newly-discovered species of invasive water chestnut in Northern Virginia.

Additional speakers are likely but still unconfirmed.

After the workshop the agenda for the business meeting will include elections of board members and officers, discussion and planning of the 2019 conference, and discussion of funding research for biocontrols of wavyleaf basketgrass.

We will have a WebEx webinar set up for this event. Details will be sent to the MAIPC Listserv and Facebook page.

There is a small fee ($12) that covers a portion of MAIPC's catering expenses of coffee and box lunches.  Poultry, fish, vegetarian, and vegan meals will be available.

Parking is free at Union Garage on campus.
