The follwing will soon be sent out by US MAIL to members of the USA MODUS.
The meeting is open to everyone. EMAIL is the only forum for letting
non-members know about the meeting. Your help is needed to get the word out
to non-members who might be interested in attending or knowing about the
meeting. Please print this out and post on any paper bulletin board you
think needs to have this announcement. Also, any local electronic bulletin
boards that have readers who might be interested. No need to post on other
usenet newsgroups, I'll be posting this notice to a few others during the
next weeks.
The last MODUS meeting, in September 1995, had about 60 attendees over
the two day meeting. Some people came from as far as the United Kingdom
to participate. There has been considerable growth in the use and availability
of Modula-2 since that meeting. The June 1987 meeting hopefully will be
as well attended and as interesting.
