    2J Saving Onr HEATH Eight-Bit Machines! > Volume 1, Number 11 *2.50 a copy, *15.00 a rear June-July, 1987 E^SEBHC To Meet At HUGCON’87 =12 Full Two 1 SEBHC JOURNAL Volume 1, Number 11, Page 2 The Details The First Annual General Meeting of the Society of Heath Eight-Bit Com- puterists will be held at the Chicago O’Hare Hyatt Regency hotel some time during Friday, 21 August, 1987. Exact time and location will be displayed from noon, Friday on the hotel lobby information terminals. The Society presently is informal—no officers or committees—and the only "official office holder" is L.E. Geisler, editor and publisher of the SEBHC JOURNAL. In the remote possibility that some SEBHC members want to establish a formal society, we advise them to send a proposed outline of same to the SEBHC JOURNAL. We will publish all those received before 5- Aug-87 in issue number 12 (August, 1987). The August JOURNAL issue will be available in the meeting room from about 13:00, Friday. Interested members can read what others have proposed in this issue, and may then discuss the proposals with other members also attending. If desired, they can draft a formal proposal for establishing a government, constitution and bylaws for the Society BEFORE meeting and acting on Lhe proposal. Note: This meeting will be quite brief, as most members are expecting to attend HUGCON-VI, and we don’t want them missing that. Subscribers visiting the meeting room may pick up their Aug-87 copy of the SEBHC JOURNAL there.
