Chairman : Next Meeting : SoutheastCon 2000 : Editor: Officers
Mark Stokes
Not much of a message this month. Just a couple of things I wanted to mention/remind you.
SoutheastCon 2000 is scheduled for April 7 – 9. Early registration is over, but there is still time to register to attend. If you are interested, please check out the SoutheastCon 2000 web page for registration details (http://www.ewh.ieee.org/reg/3/southeastcon2000/ )
There are still slots available for the BMW plant tour on the 31st. If you’re interested, please let me know ASAP.
I’m looking for a good topic for our May meeting. Traditionally, the May meeting is our non-technical night. We invite our significant others for a meeting on some topic that we are all interested. If you have a good idea of such a topic, please let me (or one of the officers) know and we’ll try to set something up.

Plant tour to BMW
Mark Stokes
Finally, after two years, we have been invited to tour the (new?) BMW plant in Greenville.
Tour details:
BMW Manufacturing Tour
March 31, 2000 (Friday)
Arrive at the Zentrum no later than 1:15 PM
Purchase ticket for $5.00
Tour starts at 2:00
Tour ends at 4:00
Wear good walking shoes
There are still 23 available places in the tour. Spaces are first come first served. I am maintaining a list of current attendees. Please let me know if you will be attending the tour and I will add you name to the list. I prefer you leave me an email message. I will reply with confirmation and send a general reminder next month. I will send each of the members who I have on the list an email confirming their slot.
Depending on how long the tour is, we can grab something to eat for dinner afterwards in Greenville. Remember, all are welcome (students / spouses / guests, etc.).
Check out BMW’s web page for more information and for directions to the plant. The main web page URL is: http://www.bmwusa.com/contact/manufacturing/manufacturing.html
SoutheastCon 2001 Logo and Theme
The SoutheastCon 2001 executive committee is working hard to make 2001 a great conference, but we need your help, we need a logo and a theme. If you’re feeling creative, please consider submitting a logo and/or a theme to the committee. Need an idea for a theme? Check out past SoutheastCon web pages. There is a list of a few past SoutheastCon web pages that can be found on the SoutheastCon 2001 web page. Oh and by the way, we are giving cash awards for the winners. $25 for logo and $25 for theme or $60 if they are coordinated with each other. Happy designing and good luck! SoutheastCon 2001 web page can be found: http://www.carol.net/ieee/secon2001

Getting the Newsletter too late to make the meeting? Have an email address? Send it to me. I am usually done with the newsletter more than a week in advance of the meeting, however, because of printing times, USPS, etc., it doesn’t arrive until just before the meeting. I do send the newsletter via email right after I write it! I can email it to you as soon as it’s done! The newsletter will come in plain text. It is also available online at the web page listed above.
