      Annual Holiday Party

      Our January meeting is our annual post-holiday party. It is at the Highlands Country Club, 110 Hiller Drive, Oakland (the same location as last year's party during January 2006).

      In addition to good food, nice music (CDs from Jim Dexter's collection), a great view, and a party atmosphere, we will recognize some of the chapter volunteers who make our activities possible.

      As a highlight of the evening, we will announce and display the winners of this year's technical communication competition. For the second year in a row, the Berkeley Chapter has sponsored a local technical communication competition managed by and benefitting the STC Kenneth Gordon Scholarship. The entries this year are especially interesting and of high quality. Two of them will be advancing to the international competitions, but you can see them first.

      The cost of the event is $25.00.

    Host of Party:

      Richard Mateosian
