Good afternoon everyone, Summer is almost over and our new season begins Wednesday 15 September. Our first speaker should be confirmed soon. Look for an announcement. Today, I am forwarding a request from the Rick Gray with the University of Guelph for text books and possibly a used plotter for a GIS teaching lab in Sunyani, Ghana. That's in West Africa for you non-geographers. Please help out if you can. Regards, Doug Hrynyk Vancouver GIS Users Group From: "RICK GRAY" <RGRAY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "GISlist" <gislist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 25/08/2010 01:05 PM Subject: [gislist] Text book donor inquiry Sent by: gislist-bounces+doug.hrynyk=pc.gc.ca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I made queries on this list previously about the project I have been volunteering with to establish a GIS teaching lab in the Faculty of Forestry Resources - a small campus in Sunyani in Ghana, West Africa. We now have the lab in place and have developed some course materials but we are in desperate need of text books. Since the course materials were built around the text Getting to Know ArcGIS (9.3), I was wondering if anyone on this list might know how I could attract a sponsor who would donate about 15 or so copies of the text to the college. I have tried to contact my local ESRI sales rep here in Ontario, but he has never responded. In the same vein, I would like to find a donor for a reasonable used plotter (36" would probably be sufficient) for the lab. We may be able to provide a tax receipt (Canadian) for the donation - I've started the inquiry process for that, too, but haven't had it confirmed in writing yet. Thanks ever so much, Rick Gray _______________________________________________ gislist mailing list gislist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.geocomm.com/mailman/listinfo/gislist _________________________________ This list is brought to you by The GeoCommunity http://www.geocomm.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more details on the Vancouver GIS Users Groups see www.vancouvergis.org To subscribe or unsubscribe from this meeting notice visit our web site.
