**TMS is continuing the popular "Cartographic Corner" session this fall as "Members Map Forum" with new host, David Finfrock. Members are encouraged to bring maps, atlases, or other cartographic materials to the meeting for discussion. You may want to query the group for information about a map or have some information to share or a favorite map you want to show offanything you think would be of interest to the group. Please notify Kit Goodwin, TMS Secretary-Treasurer, at goodwin@ut.edu or 817-861-1425, if you will be bringing a map for the session. She will need to know the map's approximate size and if the map is framed. We will provide display space on tables or easels along with label cards to identify the owner.
