Hmm ... this was a copy-and-paste from their PR person. Let me check my mail and see if a follow-up came. I believe you, Gayle, but before I change it I'd like to check with management and make sure everyone is on the same page.

Added: Okay, they say it's been "changed" to July 22. I've corrected the headers and original post. Thanks for the alert, Gayle!
