THE OUGHTRED SOCIETY
2014 SUMMER MEETING

You are invited to attend the Twenty-Third Annual Oughtred Society West Coast Meeting, which will be held Saturday, June 21, 2014, at our usual location at the Computer History Museum, in Mountain View, California.

Please note that the date this year will be June 21 and is not the last Saturday in June. Registration cost for the meeting will be $50 and will include entry into the museum exhibits, coffee and muffins, and the usual catered lunch in the alcove just outside our meeting room.

After the meeting, we have arranged to meet for dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory, 2107 Broadway St, Redwood City, CA 94063, which is 10 miles north on US 101 (15 min drive); directions from CHM will be provided. Registration for the dinner will be taken separately from the meeting and will feature a choice of three menu items at a cost of $15 per person.

The meeting will feature displays of slide rule collections, an auction, buying, selling and swapping, and the opportunity to meet and talk with fellow slide rule enthusiasts, many of whom are experts in their areas of interest.

All attendees are encouraged, but not required, to bring slide rules and/or calculators to display and to sell or trade. Five foot tables are furnished.
