re:	tonight's end-of-iap'95 open meeting:  b-plan sessions review,
	10k'95 update, new scheduled presentation (claudette lavoie,
	see below), new un-scheduled presentations (you!), and a
	quick look at some up-coming presenters and new cases we'll
	follow in both the e-club and seminar-095; also some
	planning for those site visits to potential physical startup
	space we didn't get around to during january (see below);

good morning!

the e-club will hold an open wrap-up session this evening in its usual
tuesday evening meeting location, 66-144, beginning at 6pm, and
running at that location to at least 8pm, followed by the usual late-night
athena/internet/web session in 14-0637 for those working on internet
and web-based startup and related research projects.

our special start-up topic tonight is in the area of materials
science & engineering and art and architecture (for a little welcome 
relief from our usual fare), with a presentation by new e-club client
and boston-based architect claudette lavoie, of the north end-based
l + l' glass studio.

lavoie and her partner in france, also a glass worker and designer,
are developing a business plan for a small glass works (factory),
including an on-site gallery, in which to produce output known
as architectural glass, to be located in cambridge.

the follow-up to this part of tonight's session will include site
visits to potential locations in cambridge where at least 3,500 ft.sq.
of industrial space might accomodate such an activity, and a slide
show of lavoie's work and works-in-progress.

one such potential site visit will be to etec, incorprated, located
in the former green rubber building, owned by kdo holdings and
managed by etec's jim stiles and marco kaltofen (who visited with
us last term).  stiles & kaltofen will continue their presentation
on-site when we schedule this activity, which may be considered
another in our series of technology business networking activities,

we'll also learn more about kdo, as well as lead solutions, inc,
environmental testing laboratory, boston chemical data corp, and
trees & lights for armenia, incorporated, while having a look 
at the small niche markets for such services, and what the current
"business of eco-sleuthing" is all about.

discussion of a date and time for the site visit will begin tonight.

otherwise, all new e-club faces and those who attended any or all
of joe hadzima's b-plan sessions and certainly all prospective $10k'95
participants are welcome to participate this evening and to give
brief updates or new start-up talks, as the two hours allow.

finally, mit and harvard students planning to take seminar-095,
during spring term, and especially for credit, might drop by this evening
for a taste of what the e-club is about, and to introduce themselves.

for further information send e-mail to <e-club-request@mit.edu> or
call 617-253-2000, or better, just appear tonight at 6 in 66-144.

hastily, but sincerely,
