[Stoves] Attending conferences

[Derby, Elisa]

Hi Paul and others,

Keeping Partners and others informed about relevant upcoming meetings
and conferences through the Partnership for Clean Indoor Air quarterly
Bulletin and website (pciaonline.org) is among the goals of the
Partnership.  Please do forward such information to PCIA at
pciaonline at yahoo.com (feel free to copy me, too) and we'll post it on
the News and Events page of the Partnership website, and include in
upcoming Bulletins as appropriate.

Best,
Elisa

Harmon,

I was there Saturday, waited in the traffic backup, did not attend 
Kunstler, but
was at the 2 PM session on biomass home heating (Brown flag tent), and
got wet
in the downpour.

How can we all be better informed about meetings and conferences 
relating to our
stoves issues?  Some of the best events are quite small but focused, 
and we need
to hear about them before the event and then some summaries after the
event,
even if only posting a URL so others can look at the pre and post info.

Paul
