<div dir="ltr">Hello Eric,<div> Good greetings to you and the whole Asia Council. I hope 2019 will be a good one for the Council and the study of Asia in Georgia.</div><div> Unfortunately, I will not be with you later this week. My department is having an important meeting with our new formerly Armstrong faculty where we will be going over our new department's by-laws and other matters that may sound important, but as the saying goes, "the devil is in the details." </div><div> So, please accept my wish for a successful and collegial meeting. I look forward to reading the minutes of the meeting and contributing however I might and then the Fall meeting.</div><div> Paul Rodell</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 21, 2019 at 10:40 AM Eric Spears <<a href="mailto:spears_eric@columbusstate.edu">spears_eric@columbusstate.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Dear Colleagues,<div><br></div><div>The Asia Council is scheduled to meet this Friday afternoon, <b>25th January, from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. at Middle Georgia State University in Macon</b>.
