Gheck it out, pull it out

One of the negatives of keeping your nose to the grindstone is that it's tough to know what's going on around you. It's a common problem: How to get your work done and still keep informed on what you need to know to be effective.

There is go lack of sources for keeping up with all the information and news that daily vie for attention. You're reading one of them now. The difficulty is scheduling the time and then actually carrying through and doing it.

In this issue we're providing you with a tool we think should be helpful. Bound into your magazine is our full-color Deluxe Industry Calendar, a remarkable compendium of meetings, dates and places for more than 150 various events in 1997. While the world is alnost awash in calendars this time of year, ours is the only one that lists all the major meetings, events, conventions, company gatherings, seminars, and club dates. Each

Calendar month in 197 is sponsored by a different company.

The Deluxe Industry Calendar is the rcsult of scores of telephone calls, faxes, letters and the like to myriad organizations. If we somehow missed you, call us. We want to know. Because the purpose of the Calendar is to be as complete and helpful as possible to our readers in organizing their working lives.

The need to know what's going on is more imperative than ever. Anending industry meetings and trade shows is not a luxury. Without the input and education attained only by attending in person, it's almost impossible to learn what you need to know.

Check out the calendar, hang it up or put it on your desk. Plan now so you don't get blindsided by events later. Time moves all too quickly. Use the Calendar today to make 1997 your most successful year.
