    Hi Calmappers,

    I'm going to order this with my map endowment funds. After all, fancy
    special items are what endowment donors want you to spend their money
    on! Next spring's Calmap meeting should be here at Santa Cruz, so
    you'll all be able to come have a look if you don't order it for your
    collection.

    Have a nice week! - Cynthia
