I wanted to let you know about an interesting and timely program at the Museum of the City of New York on the recent scourge of bed bugs in the city that should be of considerable interest to the followers of Gelf Magazine. I have included details of this program below.

We would also be very pleased to offer our members’ discount to your readers and other constituents. We would also be especially happy to invite your staff and contributors to attend as our guests. We hope you would be able to share this information.

If I can answer any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Many thanks for spreading the word about this event.

Plague! Bed Bugs: Myths and Realities
Bed bugs, it seems, are all over New York City. In your mattress, your couch, that futon on the pile at the end of your block. What’s worse, they may have overrun your newspapers and even your TV screen. What’s hype and what’s reality? How big a problem are bed bugs, really? What is the city doing to stop them, and what can you do before they take over your apartment? Entomologist Louis Sorkin of the New York Entomological Society and Renee Corea, former director of New York vs Bed Bugs, are joined by a panel of exterminators, journalists, and city officials to discuss how the recent plague of bed bugs is affecting city life and culture. Co-sponsored by the New York Entomological Society.
