Automatic Meeting Notifications

In the past, automatic meeting notifications were done by the web hosting
company used by Andy Funk. We are now migrating this service to the
present web hosting company. So if you have received automatic
notifications in the past and would like to continue receiving them
(or if you would like to sign up for them now) please go to
the Sign-Up Page. Note that this information will NOT be
used for any purpose other than meeting information
and that you can cancel at any time.

Thanks Brad

Thanks to Brad Gilmer for putting together the June meeting. And to Kimberly Maki, Executive Director of SMPTE,

The Next Section Meeting...

In July, only the managers will be meeting to plan upcoming meetings.
We will kick off our "new season" with the August meeting. If you
have suggestions for meeting topics you would like to see,
please email them to TJ Scott or pass them along to
a section manager. In the meantime, enjoy the
warm weather of July!

If you are experiencing any signs of "meeting withdrawl" may we
suggest the "Larry Bloomfield Road Show?" Details may be found
at the SBE Website.
