Fellow BWCHPS Member,

 

The Baltimore-Washington Chapter of the Health Physics Society cordially
invites you to attend the Annual Business Meeting, our final meeting of the
Chapter year.  This event will include Affiliate member exhibitions, a
series of informative presentations, a great all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, a
free open bar, live entertainment, self-guided tours of the NASA-GSFC
Visitor Center, and NO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC!  We've purposely scheduled this
one on a Saturday (as many other Chapters have done), in hopes that we can
include our regulars as well as those who find it difficult to attend our
normal dinner meetings.  **Please note the reservation deadline.**
