May SAE SoCal Section Meeting to Feature Yamaha Technology

25 April 2000

The May Section meeting has a tradition of being our highest attended
meeting of the year.  The combination of a "high-performance" topic along
with our annual student awards tends to draw a crowd spanning the range from
first year engineering students to retirees.  This year we feel we've gone
one step beyond and are hosting the meeting in the fabulous Petersen Museum.
If you are someone who typically only finds time for one or two SAE meetings
a year, this one should be on your list.  And to make sure we can feed
everyone, PLEASE MAKE A RESERVATION.  Thank you.
