The following is the program listing for our meeting in October, 2006.  We 
have attempted to put together a program that will allow you to get the 
required CEUs for your certification, get information with a class to 
complete testing for your certification or just fun with forensics or bog 
people (mummies).  Come join us in Cranbury PA.  Just outside Pittsburgh 
for 1 or all 3 days.

If you would like further information call either Gloria Limetti at UPMC 
412-647-8532 or Pam Marcum at UPENN Vet School 610-925-6278.

The web site will be up later this week with the full program and 
abstracts.  An e-mail will be sent by Friday with the address.
