As you'll read in the next issue of the Chip News, I am reminding everyone whose membership expires in June to be sure and renew ahead of the convention.

If you wait to renew at the convention, you'll have to pay the non member entry fee, renew inside on the show floor, and get your entry fee refunded. PLEASE avoid the hassel and send in your renewal early. Your label on the magazine envelope should be highlighted for all the June 30, 2000 renewals.

Also take note that if you are bringing a spouse/child/significant other to the Early Bird reception, they must be a member or an associate member. Please register them early by mail also.

Thanks for your cooperation. This will also avoid a lot of extra confusion at the registration table and help all show attendees enter the show quickly.
