> Open letter to Leps-L subscribers:
> 
> I would like to invite you to attend the Nov. 7-8 meeting in Louisville, 
> KY of the Society of Kentucky Lepidopterists.  Friday night 7-11 will be 
> an open house at the Covells', 2333 Brighton Drive, Louisville, KY 
> 40205.  We "talk bugs" and usually look at a video or some slides as 
> well.  Sat. we open the Lepidoptera collection for viewing, 
> identification help, and people exchange books, discuss field trips, 
> etc. and generally visit.  This is in 321 Life Sciences Bldg., Univ. of 
> Louisville.  At 1:00 we have our annual business meeting and elections, 
> and after that, our special guest speaker.  This year it is Ron Boender, 
> founder of Butterfly World in Coconut Creek, Florida.  He will give us 
> the story of Butterfly World, and also a program on his rearing studies 
> on Passion-vine-feeding Lepidoptera, mainly the _Heliconius_ (longwing) 
> butterflies of the American Tropics.  Ron is the founder of the 
> Passiflora Society which fosters study and exchange of information about 
> growing passionvine species.  Those at the meeting will receive free 
> Butterfly World videos (while they last).  After that, there will be 
> shorter talks by James K. Adams, William R. Black Jr., Charlie Covell 
> and others about field experiences (such as the discovery of a colony of 
> Great Purple Hairstreaks in Paducah, KY, and another mating between 
> viceroy and red-spotted Purples in W. KY).  Anyone may give a short 
> talk, show some slides, or otherwise participate.  Door prizes end the 
> program, with a lovely print by artist Yin-rei Hicks as the main one.
