We're teaming up with SIG III and raising money to have fun, and to 
help pay hotel/food expenses for six ASIST international travel grant 
winners to go to the Long Beach conference in October, 2003. Here's 
who they 
are:http://www.asis.org/Chapters/asispvc/may_15_2003/scholars.html

It's only $8.00 a ticket(!!!) for this very worthy cause (having a 
good time) and also enjoying the Bazaar; a raffle full of exciting 
prizes; and exciting international silent auction. Some of the items
