July MeetingStandby for Zack's Really Big Shoow...Southern California's "Cable Queen," Margie Friedman started mentioning a couple of the products she represents and would like to show off for an SBE chapter meeting. It was suggested that she just bring the "whole fam damily." So that's what she's doing. With Kings rep Christie Scott, she's cooked up an irresistable show of ten manufacturers interested in showing off their wares. Chapter business will include consideration of a chapter representative to coordinate frequencies for NFL games. Read the letter. Benefits include payment and press box tickets. Also look for Manuel Rodriguez of Delphi Systems to give an update on their plans for Radio Data Systems to be included in radios of certain General Motors Year 2000 vehicles. And we'll be discussing the scholarship program. The venue is irresistible as well. Again, we'll be meeting at a plush hotel--Four Points Inn by Sheraton--with generous hors d'ouerves and lots of time for talking shop. We've made the time more convenient for those of you headed home. The product fair is open Wednesday, July 21, at 5:00 PM, with SBE business meeting at 7:00 PM.
