The Southern Lepidopterists’ Society will hold its annual meeting this year in conjunction with the opening of McGuire Center for Lepidoptera Research on September 25-28, 2003 in Gainesville, Florida at the Florida State Collection of Arthropods. The meetings will be held together with those of the Association for Tropical Lepidoptera. All sessions will be held in the Doyle Conner Auditorium at the Division of Plant Industry, Florida Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services, 1911 SW 34th St. in Gainesville. The McGuire Center will be open for walk-throughs, and the collections at FSCA will be available for inspection before the meetings. Other collections, including the Allyn Museum of Entomology, are being moved to McGuire Center in late 2003 and early 2004, so these will not be in Gainesville in September.

Trouble With Newsletter Inserts, Vol. 25 No. 2
We want to apologize to all who did not receive all of the appropriate inserts in the most recent newsletter (even though it was the fault of the U.S. mail service!). We know that a majority of the membership did get the entire newsletter. For those who did not, the easiest thing to do is to send a message to Jeff Slotten (Treasurer) or call him at (352) 338-0721. He will make all efforts to get the inserts out to you, though he may wait a little just to see how many responses he gets.
There should be three color inserts, the Abbot Award Ballot, a map for the fall meeting, and pages 33 and 34.
