PhilaSUG

The Philadelphia Area SAS Users Group Fall Meeting will held be on Thursday, November 13, 1997, at 1:00 PM and will be hosted by IMS America at their Plymouth Meeting site. As you approach IMS America, look for signs leading to the parking area reserved for PhilaSUG attendees. When you enter the building you will be given a visitor's badge. This badge must be worn at all times while on their premises. Your cooperation will be appreciated.

Registration will begin at 12:30 PM and the meeting will commence at 1 PM. Please try to arrive a bit early to register as this will allow the meeting to begin promptly. Dues for the year are $20 and there are no other fees for attending PhilaSUG meetings. We will accept cash, but a check is preferred. If you are a student with a current matriculation card, we charge $5.00 per event.

Please do not pre-register; this creates unnecessary paper work. Receipts and membership cards will be available at registration time.

The PhilaSUG Executive Committee wishes to thank the management and staff of IMS America, Inc. for hosting this meeting, and in particular Suzanne Clark, of the Statistical Services Department for her energy and cooperation. In addition, we wish to thank Daphne Ewing for her efforts in coordinating this meeting.
