ANNUAL FALL MEETING
OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY MUSEUM OF BIO-LOGICAL DIVERSITY,
SATURDAY, 20 OCTOBER 2001, COLUMBUS, OHIO

On Saturday October 20th, 2001, The Ohio Lepidopterists will hold its Annual
Fall Meeting at the Museum of Biological Diversity at the Ohio State
University. The Museum is at 1315 Kinnear Road on west campus (see map). The
doors will open at 9:00 am. The morning is a good time to meet new people
and visit with old friends and share tales of the season's adventures. Also
there will be presentations all morning in the Auditorium of the museum
presented by members of The Butterfly Observers Group. See the separate note
about this later in this mailing. All are welcome to join the morning
presentations as they wish. The sales program will be on hand, so bring your
check book.


The afternoon session begins at 1:30 pm in the Auditorium with our key note
speaker Dr. John Rawlins from the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. John is a
world renown Lepidopterist who will present a slide talk on Caterpillars.
This should help us all ID many of the caterpillars we see in the field or
even in our own back yards. John, a long time member of The Ohio
Lepidopterists, will speak for one hour after which members may give short
presentations. Those wishing to give short presentations must contact Dave
Parshall, so time can be planned. There will be a short business meeting
followed by usual door prize drawings and dinner at a local restaurant. You
can reach Dave Parshall at: 4424 Rosemary Parkway, Columbus OH 43214; 614
262 4943; 614.262.0058; or dpohlep at columbus.rr.com


Be sure to bring a door prize. The board of The Ohio Lepidopterists hopes to
see you all at our Fall Meeting this October.

SATURDAY, 20 OCTOBER 2001 IS FOOTBALL SATURDAY IN COLUMBUS, OHIO

Because of the recent tragedy of terrorist attacks in America, an Ohio State
University football game is rescheduled for Saturday, 20 October 2001 in
Columbus, Ohio. Saturday football game days in Columbus usually create
increased traffic, some motels and hotels being filled to capacity, and
longer lines at restaurants Saturday evenings. The additional traffic is
most noticeable about 1-2 hours before the game and after the game beginning
in the 4th quarter until about 1 hour after the game is finished. The
starting time of the game was not available when this announcement was
prepared, so we could not predict times of most traffic. Usually, game time
is announced on the Monday preceding the game.


The Museum of Biological Diversity is on west campus and away from most game
activity. Parking should be available at or near the Museum. Some of the
main streets are switched to One Way traffic, or closed to all except game
traffic during peak traffic hours, but other streets are unaffected. Some of
us regularly travel to the Museum on home game days with little difficulty.
So, come early, and stay until the end of the day. You'll have no
difficulties.
