Re: "Mars Society Week" - San Diego Mayor's Pronouncement

Wow, not bad when the mayor of a big city like San Diego gives tribute to the cause of exploring Mars.  I wonder how that ended up on the agenda.  Is there any kind of public event planned to celebrate the week?  I guess we could always slip down into Tijuana and tank up in celebration.
