Since all the above groups, of which I am a member, are not known for sponsoring social functions, I suggest we co-opt the Pen SFA parties. Their latest "Winnie" newsletter is attached. Please note and follow "rules". I especially recommend the 12/26 party. ...

Interested people are definitely invited to attend PenSFA parties (though not to "co-opt" them..), but we prefer not to post the meeting notices to random mailing lists since they include hosts' addresses and phones. [Edgar didn't know this because I failed to tell him; my fault, not his.] But please don't forward the whole Winnie on to other lists. (Especially, don't post it to USENET...) If you'd like more information on PenSFA, email me, I have a information handout to give you; also email me to get on the list for more announcements. Rich (rfm@eng.sun.com)
