<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'><div>Greetings,</div><div><br></div><div>I will be sending the notice for next week's meeting shortly, but thought this rather ominous email I received from our U of T speaker-coordinator should be circulated. At our last two meetings, we have had only 6 or 7 attendees.</div><div><br></div><div>Ed Morrison</div><br><br><div>> From: krieger@physics.utoronto.ca<br>> Subject: Speakers<br>> Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2014 15:19:01 -0500<br>> To: edalmo@bell.net<br>> <br>> <br>> Hi Ed,<br>> <br>> I've sent out a call for speakers for April and May. Please let me know if you've<br>> already filled either of these slots.<br>> <br>> I gather that Arun's talk was poorly attended. I'd like to say again that it's sort of<br>> awkward for me to ask people to volunteer to give talks if only a handful of people <br>> are going to show up. Most people do not have a talk at this level just sitting on <br>> their laptop, so people do spend time preparing these. I think they sometimes <br>> don't feel like it was worth the effort. But let's see what happens this month. <br>> <br>> Cheers,<br>> <br>> Peter<br>> <br>> <br></div> </div></body>
