FUTURE SOCIETY EVENTS

Boston Conference 2013


This year, 30 minutes before each meeting starts, we will have a table with several reference books and some senior members to provide help to folks doing their research. This is designed to be helpful to all but especially helpful to beginners, so please encourage them to attend. We hope to make all our meetings into "BRING A FRIEND" EVENTS.
