An important industry newcomer

For the first tine, an extensive listing of industry events with a different company sponsoring each month has been compiled in calendar form. We're pleased to tell you that you can find our Deluxe Industry Calendar in this issue. It is affixed farther back in the magazine and is designed for easy re,moval. Just gently pull it free from the publication. We've even punched a hole in it so you crm easily hang it up on the wall.

\{s think you're going to nnd it helpful when deciding which events you want to utend during 1995. If you're involved in scheduling meetings, the calendar should help avoid the conflicts and overlaps that seem to occur so often.

In compiling the events of next year, we've made every effort to include all those firmly scheduled by late 1994. To make the listings as inclusive as possible we contacted associations, institutes, clubs and selected companies. We figure the more the merrier. But when a meeting was subject to a possible change of date, we did not include it

What we didn't want is to have someone rely on the calenda and show up for an event that the sponsoring group had shifted to another time and place.
