  At the Craneway - March 29th Opportunities in China - For Some
March 27, 2012
 

Despite being sponsored and presumably paid for by the U.S. Department of Commerce and sponsored by the Port of Richmond, the Advanced Transportation Market Opportunities In China Seminar that was the subject of My March 25 E-FORUM is not, in fact, open to the public. Often, people send me notices about community events, and many of them I post on my E-FORUM. Apparently, this invitation was meant for my eyes only, although it didn’t say that.
