<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Kind suggestion: It would be helpful to have recurring events in a calendar that would allow us all to plan way in advance. You know how it goes in universities,
many events and activities, faculty and students’ calendars very load. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

work that we can shows in GIS Day every year second week of November. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
