Yesterday a letter meant for SPME Members in the Philadelphia area at Drexel, Villanova, University of Pennsylvania, Temple and other local Universities was accidently sent out to everyone. We received a good bit of feedback and several people going off the listserv because of it. We apologize for this area.

However, we are quite proud of the fact that John Cohn, MD, of Thomas Jefferson University College of Medicine, as well as a member of SPME’s Board of Directors, is being honored by Israel Bonds, along with his wife Sherry. In addition we are proud that another SPME Board member, Gerald Steinberg, Director of the Center for Conflict Resolution and Publisher of the NGO Monitor (also a member of SPME Board of Directors), will be the featured guest speaker for that event. We do hope as many SPME members in the area that can attend will. For further details on this event on January 6, 2007 call 1-800-752-5671.

Thank you for your understanding.
