Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce an IGS Honors Meeting during the AGU to 
recognize important transitions in the IGS Governing Board.  You are 
cordially invited to join a celebration on Tuesday evening  December 
10 to honor Prof. Christoph Reigber as he completes his term as Chair 
of the Board.  Prof. Robert Weber has been the IGS Analysis Center 
Coordinator for the past two years and will turn this important 
responsibility over early in 2003. Dr. Joachim Feltens will remain a 
member of the Ionosphere Working Group, but will no longer Chair this 
activity. Prof. Paul Paquet, our representative from FAGS, also 
retired a few months ago.

The reception will be held at the:

               Argent Hotel
               50 Third Street
               San Francisco, CA 94103
               Tel: 415-974-6400
               Fax: 415-543-8268

               7:00 - 10:00 PM
           Tuesday, December 10, 2002

The Argent Hotel is located one block from Moscone Center and the 
Center for the Arts. Signs in the hotel lobby will provide directions 
to the room location. Arrangements are being made by the Central 
Bureau.

To defray costs of the room and plentiful hors d'oeuvres, the Central 
Bureau requests each person to contribute at least $10 at the door. A 
no-host full bar will be available. The atmosphere will be informal 
as we toast and roast these gentlemen remembering their service to 
the IGS.

So that we may ensure final planning numbers, can you please RSVP 
your intention to attend as soon as possible? And certainly by 
Sunday, December 8 by replying to this message.

Please join us for this honors celebration!

Best regards,


Ruth Neilan
