[Cuga] Low Energy Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Astrophysics Town Meeting to be held at Texas A&M, Aug. 21-23- A message from Douglas Higinbotham

[Lorelei Chopard]

Registration is now open for the joint Town Meetings for Low Energy Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Astrophysics
to be held at Texas A&M, Aug. 21-23.  Registration details along with Working Group information plus hotel
accommodations etc can be found at:

http://www.lecmeeting.org/

With the aim of maximizing exchange and mutual participation we will start with a set of plenary talks relevant
to both groups. Afterwards a number of parallel working groups arranged by each meeting will address the various
topics of interest for each field. On Saturday we will meet again jointly to discuss outcomes and resolutions that
both town meetings will put forward as input into the Long Range Plan. White Papers from each group reflecting the
vision, future goals and objectives, needs, and priorities of each field will be forthcoming along with a joint
summary outlining the strength, synergies, and collective needs of both fields.  We have a strong history of coming
together, answering the questions posed to us in the LRP Charge Letter and making compelling arguments for our science.
Once again we need your active participation in this most important endeavor.
