2007 Board Closed. New 2008 Message board now available.

Hi! Nice site!

I have several Tech Notes on GREEN Buildings. Some of these Tech Notes are on Cool Roofs, Soy Bean Based Lubricants, and Soy Bean Based Cleaners. Please feel free to contact me at cdupoldt@yahoo.com or my cell phone at 610-357-6226. Thank you.

Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! mbfakfmpptjbx

For the folks that are here today (Friday the 20th) and are looking for something to do, I was wondering if anyone would like to meet in the sports bar (TD's) later this evening, maybe 8-9? Might be a good chance to get to know some fellow SWCS members.

Also, if there is anyone that is going to be going "in town" for a little grocery shopping and you wouldn't mind a tag-along, I'm looking for a way to do the same.

Thanks!

I did not reserve a hotel yet. I would like to share a room. i will arive there on July 20th and check out on 26th July. Please call me at 251-11-5-538632 / 251-911-471463 or e-mail mahmudyesuf@yahoo.com /frewberhe@yahoo.com

Thanks Jennifer, I guess I'm interested in shopping, outdoorsy stuff or museums. I'm not sure how much free time I'll have, but I figure an evening or two will be open and probably a 2-5 hour block at least once. I was toying with the idea of heading down to casperian(sp?) beach, because I hear it is know for the shark teeth and is a little less busy, but I know it is about an hour and half down there, so I may not have the time to swing that. I just figure might as well cram as much in as possible, but will likely need to play things by ear. Any ideas/suggestions would be helpful

I would like to share a room with a roommate from Sunday 22nd to Tuesday the 24th. Mr. Angel Figueroa at 202-720-6731 or angel.figueroa@wdc.usda.gov

In response to Sarah VanDelfzijl and cool things to do in the Tampa area...I live here in Tampa, and there's lots of interesting things to do, it just depends on your interests. Outdoorsy stuff? Shopping? Theme Parks? Museums? Give me a topic and I'll tell you what there is within a reasonable distance. It also depends on what your time frame to travel to those interesting things is.

I will be arriving Friday evening July 20th and flying back out Wed evening July 25th. I would like to share a 2 bedroom suite with a male roommate. I have not made reservations yet. Please phone me at 309-830-5599 or email kent.bohnhoff@il.usda.gov if interested.

Interested in “energy estimator” on-line tools? NRCS needs your help!

At the 2007 annual SWCS Conference, NRCS will sponsor an energy exhibit with a computer monitor set up so that attendees can learn about and try out the energy estimator on-line tools. We need several NRCS employees with field experience (and experience with the energy tools themselves) who are willing to spend some time in the booth to provide assistance and answer questions.

If you plan to attend the meeting and would like to help, please contact:
Dianne Guidry
Branch Chief, State and Field Communications

Diane.guidry@wdc.usda.gov or 202-720-2182

Hey Gang, anyone have a line on some of the things to do in the area? I wasn't very successful in my internet search. i'n not sure I'll have much free time as the schedule looks pretty packed, but if something especially cool was in the area, I'd like to sneak away for a bit and check it out. Trying to decide if it is worth it to rent a car.

DeWayne, this is a good idea. I will be interested in hearing from some people planning to attend the conference. I am planning to attend and should arrive on Saturday. I need to get with Ed Wright from Florida while I am there.

The Soil and Water Conservation Society’s 2007 Annual Conference will be held July 21-25 in Tampa, Florida. http://www.swcs.org/2007ac

The conference theme is “Conservation Challenges in a Changing Landscape.” The conference includes workshops, concurrent sessions, symposia, posters, plenary sessions, and technical tours designed to expose participants to recent developments in the science and art of natural resource conservation and environmental management on working land—the largely privately-owned land comprising working farms, ranches, forests, and rural and urban communities.

AUDIENCE: The SWCS annual conference brings together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers at all levels of government, business, and nongovernmental organizations to explore current issues in conservation and environmental management science, technology, practice, programs, and policy.

Conference Message Board: For those of you who would like to connect with other SWCS members attending the conference (to perhaps coordinate with others on arrival times, for dinners, or search for a tennis, golfing or running partner), we have implemented this Annual Conference Message Board.
