I have sent this text to the members list:

[GSAS-Member] Donated Plants-March 11th GSAS with Luis Navarro

Hi All:

I just received word that Luis will be sending a rather large box of uncommon 
and rare plants to accompany his talk on March 11th and auction afterwards.  
Call it "Plant Auction II"!  Please tell a friend as this is really the talk 
for everybody with cheap soil master (black substrate at $25/50lb, contact 
Larry), a spectacular slide show (tanks as art),  a chance to ask an expert 
about setting up/maintaining a tank, and rare plants!  Please spread the word.

Details including directions posted on GSAS.org

-Paul

AND:

[GSAS-Member] Dinner with the Speaker, Luis Navarro

Club:

This invitation is to join fellow club members at a dinner with Luis on 
Tuesday, March 11th around 6 pm.  The dinner is always a good chance to talk 
with the speaker and has always been fun.  If you are interested, please email 
me to RSVP.

I am interested for recommendations on other facilities near Fremont than can 
accommodate a larger group.

-Paul

AND the planted tank:

PLease modify and repost as you see fit. Could someone please post the SMS in 
the craigslist for sale and Plant Auction II in wherever auction stuff went 
last time as it was great!

I am going back to sick now, see you Wednesday.

-Paul
