I'm looking forward to our HAC Timely Topics meeting this coming
Saturday at USNH, 700 Hartford Turnpike in Hamden. <br>
<br>
The potluck dinner is 5:00 pm to 5:45 pm, followed by a 48 minute
video on chimpanzees, our closest relatives, and then we will have a
discussion.<br>
<br>
Please bring a dish to share (note the comment below about baked
goods). <br>
<br>
See you then.<br>
<br>
Manny<br>
