During 2007, meetings of the Pacific Coast Entomological Society are held monthly during the academic year (September through May) and usually on the third Friday of each month. Meetings start at 8:00 PM, although members often get together at 6:00 PM for a pre-meeting dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Four meeting venues will be used during 2007 with addresses and/or directions given in the meeting notices published in the monthly "Bits & PCES". To learn more about the meeting venues, the entomologists who work in each place and their respective specialties, please see:

The meetings commence with a reading of the minutes of the previous meeting, proceed through the the proposal of new members, continue with the introduction of new members, visitors and guests, include reports (if any) from standing and special commitees, proceed then to the introduction of any new business, offer an opportunity for announcements, invite the presentation of notes and exhibits, and conclude with a lecture by a featured speaker.  Following the meeting, members traditionally gather for refreshments and conversation.  Visitors and guests are welcome at the meetings, which are announced in the Society's newsletter, "Bits & PCES", which is mailed to members residing in the San Francisco Bay Area (and to other members on request), and is posted here at the Society's website.  Directions to the meeting venues are available with each announcement. We hope to see you at our next meeting!
