[rtpnet-tact] 2003 FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES ONE DAY FREE CONFERENCE

[Bob Sams]

This looks like a good opportunity.  Is anyone planning to attend.  The
Baltimore site is full and the Atlanta location for a satellite broadcast on
April 8 has not yet been selected.  I would like to talk with anyone who has
an interest.
