Boston Lisp users meeting THIS COMING TUESDAY - free - all welcome

The directions for the meeting and symposium are given below.

ALL Lispers are invited to attend a freewheeling meeting, beginning at
9:00 am this Tuesday (3/27) at Havard University. This meeting is
absolutely free, and there are rumors of coffee and snacks!  It will
have a few members of the Association of Lisp Users
(ALU), who will want to discuss "next steps" for the Lisp community. 
However, you do not need to be a member of the ALU or a conference
registrant to attend, and the agenda is open.

Please stop by.  If you can, it would be helpful if you can RSVP to Lisa
Fettner <lfettner@franz.com> so that we know how many to expect.

The Lisp developer's symposium is being hosted by Franz this Sunday and
Monday at Harvard University.  It's only $120, and information is
available at
