Annual Meeting and Open House

It is never too early to mark your calendar for this year's Stone Laboratory Open House and FOSL annual meeting. The Open House for the public is held on one day only: Saturday, September 6, 2008. The rest of the weekend will be devoted to the FOSL annual meeting and activities. The open house will coincide with Put-in-Bay's annual Historic Weekend, commemorating Commander Perry's victory over the British in the War of 1812. This will be a wonderful weekend for a fun, family getaway.
