Invitations have been mailed out to many AHSGR members in the Northern California region, but since multiple current and older mailing lists were merged it is possible that we missed some people in the process: if you do not receive an invitation in the mail this week please contact Kay Boynton right away, and she will make sure you receive the pertinent information. On behalf of the Golden Gate Chapter, let me urge you to attend what promises to be an interesting and enjoyable event! Richard Kisling
