SPRING CONFERENCE
RALEIGH, N.C.
MARCH 30 - 31, 2000

                                         A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

The year 2000 offers those involved in the field of microscopy a golden opportunity to examine that which lies behind us
and to evaluate that which lies before us. AReMS had two excellent meetings in 1999. The Spring meeting was held at
the University of South Carolina - Spartanburg, with the theme "Forensics and Microscopy", and the Fall meeting was at Appalachian State University in Boone, with the theme, "The Industrial Use of The Microscope". Both meetings offered
a wide variety of speakers, well planned workshops, good food and a great opportunity to share with fellow microscopists
the exciting things that are happening in our area.
For the Spring Meeting of 2000, the Program Chair (Rick McGill) and the Host (Ken Culbreth) are working diligently to make this meeting a great success. I want to encourage you, on behalf of the Executive Committee of AReMS, to mark your calendars with the dates of this meeting and make every possible effort to be there.  I look forward to seeing all of you at the Spring 2000 Meeting, in Raleigh, N.C.
 Respectfully,

Chuck Turnbill
