***********************************************************************

Although it is short notice, there will be a special FOOD-SIG convened
at the FOUR RIVERS in Rockville on Friday the 12th at 7:30 PM.

The reason for this meeting is to bid farewell to our friends Dick &
Janet. Dick has retired (again) and will be moving to a new house they
have built in Phoenix, AR.

They will be moving on the 19th of March, so this will be our last
chance to get together for at least some time.

Please, please try to come, it is a Friday night, so things should be a
bit easier. Also, let me (Paul) know via: voice(301-588-0660), BBS
(301-588-0774), or internet ( food.sig@fedix.fie.com), ASAP if you can
attend and how many people will come. I will make final numbers call on
Thursday.

I look forward to a large turnout for 2 really nice people who we have
always enjoyed sharing our dinners with in the past.

                 Paul

                       What is this FOOD-SIG, anyway?

For folks who haven't been to one of the FOOD-SIG gatherings, here's
a little background:

Back in the Dark Ages of microcomputing, in the days when Mighty CP/M
strode the land, the CP/M Users' Group of Washington DC used to meet
on the third Wednesday of each month. Being a congenial lot, most of
the members would wind up at a restaurant for dinner after the meetings.

CP/M's days as the dominant operating system drew to a close, and the
CP/M Users' Group decided to fold after a meeting where 90% of the
attendees said that their primary (or in many cases, only) machine was
an MS-DOS system, and that the major reason they came to meetings was to
go out to eat afterwards.

Since the third Tuesday of the month was free for everyone, and we all
enjoyed getting together, we just kept on meeting at various restaurants
every month in the three or so years since the CP/M-UG ceased to exist.
The days change, but the focus of the group is still the same, good
eating, good company, and good conversation.

There are no dues, no officers, no by-laws, no bureaucracy. There are no
requirements other than a heart appetite and the desire to enjoy a good
meal with congenial people. Spouses/significant others are most welcome.

The location for each month's gathering is posted a bulletin  (on the
Gen-5 BBS) at some point before it's too late. Please join us for an
enjoyable evening!
