Please join us at Gordon Biersch on September 5th, for an
after-work get together. It would be great to see as many people as
possible from 4:30 - 7:00 PM. We had a really good turnout for the
installation of our officers there in January and we look forward to seeing many of the
same
faces as well as new ones! On behalf of our Executive Committee, I invite you to join us
on Friday evening, September 5th. See you there!

Teleweb with ASSE, to share the cost. There are 10 spaces available

people who sign up, and if there are more than ten, I will put you
on standby in case ASSE has any extra seats. As usual, it is free
