It appears that there is significant interest in an informal meeting of
3.5m community members in Toronto at the AAS meeting next week.

I suggest that we meet initially for dinenr on Tuesday evening with the
possibility of continuing the discussions after dinner.  There would then
be the possibility of further meetings or discussions, perhaps of some
subset of us, on Wednesday and Thursday.  [Note that the meeting banquet
is scheduled for Wednesday evening.]

I have called the conference hotel (the Westin) and learned that there is
a small, open lounge/sitting-area just inside the main entrance near the
Registration Desk.  I am told that it should be easy to find and identify
uniquely.  I suggest that we assemble there at 6pm on Tuesday.  I will 
attempt to find some Chinese or other suitable restaurant for a good sized
group in the area for our meal.

If you intend to show up for dinner and it is convenient to do so, please
let me know by email or by leaving a message at my room (I will be staying
in the Westin) so that I can make an appropriate reservation.  However, if
you want to attend and do not have a chance to let me know, please come
anyway.  I am sure we can be reasonably flexible.

I am sending this to all who indicated at least a possible interest in
the idea and posting it to apo35-general to try to reach those who did
not but might still want to participate.

See you there (barring untimely East Coast blizzards),
