[MR] Smithsonian Resident Associate Programs

[Karen]

The Smithsonian's Resident Associate Programs for this summer include
several lectures and classes relating to the Smithsonian's "Silk Road"
Folklife Festival, as well as other themes relating to pre-17th century
cultures.

I thought some of these classes might be interesting for some of the
SCAdians in the area:
