Greetings to all attendees of the 19th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals- We are happy to confirm that the second biennial Student Travel Fundraiser Party is happening at the Tampa conference! In Quebec, the Seal Clubbing Party was a big hit and raised almost $4000 for student travel. This year we are setting our sights higher and would like you to help us raise $10000 for the student travel fund. Manatee Mayhem will be going down on Thursday Dec. 1 from 8-3. To get a ticket we are accepting donations at the conference. $10 donation for students and $20 donation for non-students. Of course, we know we can count on employed and senior scientists to give more! Tickets and T-shirts will be on sale AT the conference, no advanced sales. Space is limited so make sure you find us or a volunteer early at the conference to get your tickets. This year there will be a raffle with lots of amazing prizes including an iPad2. We are all selling a limited number of manaTEE-Shirts. Get an extremely cool t-shirt to show your friends and colleagues you supported the students and survived the mayhem. Please check out the official party website for all the information that you need: www.manateemayhem.weebly.com or email us at manateemayhem AT gmail.com As always, all proceeds go to the student travel fund! Mayhem is coming...hope to see you there. Charles and Ari and the Conference Organizers www.manateemayhem.weebly.com
