Yup, the notice is coming out in the next Astrophile.

The national meeting of the Space Unit will be on Saturday June 3 at 3:00 pm at the Washington 2006 international stamp show at the Washington DC convention center. Guest speakers will be Dr. David Leckrone, Senior Scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope; and Chris Calle', artist for the Apollo 11 anniversary stamps. We will also have a trading session and dinner that evening (details in work now). C'mon down!!!
