The next Washington DC area Smalltalk users group will 
be held on Monday, January 29, 1996 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.  

AGENDA
--------
This month's meeting will be a vendor presentation meeting.  
Dave Kaehler, UniSQL, will be presenting UniSQL's object-relational 
database product.  This interesting product allows allows 
organizations to fully exploit the advantages of object-oriented 
technology, without giving up relational database features 
that are relied on for mission-critical applications, and to 
manage all data types with the same level of reliability 
and consistency that relational-only systems have provided 
for simple numbers, characters, and strings. 


LOCATION
---------
The location for the meeting will be at Bell Atlantic:

	Bell Atlantic Plaza
	1310 N. Courthouse Road
	Arlington VA

NOTE:  This is a NEW location for our meetings.  We will NOT
be meeting at the AMS building in Rosslyn.

It is located a few blocks from the Courthouse Metro stop.  
Using Metro is recommended since there is limited street parking.


IMPORTANT NOTE:
-----------------
It is requested (but not required) that you RSVP if you are 
planning to attend. Bell Atlantic's security personnel prefer
to have a list of attendees for off-hours meetings.  Your 
RSVP should include your name and your company affiliation.  
If you choose not to RSVP, Patrick Ryan (our Bell Atlantic host)
will have to sign you in personally and it will just take a 
little more time.  Once you are signed in, you will be given
a temporary pass.  Note that the attendee list will only be 
used for the purposes of this meeting and will not be passed 
on to any other entity within Bell Atlantic.  You can RSVP 
by sending email to patrick.m.ryan@bell-atl.com or by
calling 703-974-7624.


DIRECTIONS:
-----------
1. Via Metro
Take the Orange Line to the Court House stop.  There is 
only one escalator up out of the mezzanine.  At the top of 
the escalator, you will walk down a hallway.  At the end of 
the hallway you will have three ways you can go.  Take 
the left exit (the one that is *not* Colonial Village or Courthouse 
Plaza).  A short escalator will take you out of the station 
and leave you facing Clarendon Blvd.  Take an immediate U-turn 
to the right to go down a driveway.  If you walk past a long 
row of newspaper boxes, you went the right way.  At the
end of the little driveway, you will hit 15th St.  Cross the 
street and turn left.  Take the next right, which will be 
N. Courthouse Rd.  Proceed past the Arlington County Courthouse 
and cross 14th St.  Right after you cross 14th St., you will pass 
a small brick building.  Walk down the set of stairs next to the
building, you will find yourself standing in Bell Atlantic Plaza.  
Go in the front doors of the 1310 building.


2. Driving
- Take I-66, Rt. 50, or GW Parkway to Rosslyn
- From Rosslyn: Proceed west on Wilson Blvd.  Turn left on 
N. Courthouse Rd.  There is limited street parking on N. 
Courthouse, Veitch, 14th, and 15th.
- From Rt. 50: Get off at the N. Courthouse Road exit.  
Bell Atlantic Plaza is just above 14th St at 1310 N. 
Courthouse Road


Getting into the building:
There will be a guard at the desk in 1310.  Give the guard 
your name and state that you are attending the DC Smalltalk 
Users Group meeting in the Pennsylvania Room.  Once you 
get past the guard desk, take to the elevator to the 2nd floor.
When you come out of the elevator, walk toward the end of 
the hall that has a television hanging from the ceiling and 
turn left.  Proceed down the hallway and go up the stairs.  Go 
past the conference room desk and turn left.  You will find the 
Pennsylvania Room down the hall on the left.

*** Refreshments (drinks and snacks) will be served.  
Please bring $2 per person to help pay for the refreshments.
