Networking Tips

Parking lot is in the rear of the restaurant (accessible via Market Sq. and Constance Liegh Dr. as well).


Due to cost of printing and mailing, ASM Hartford will publish just one issue of the Macrogram in the fall. This will come out in mid September. Therefore, it is particular important that you bookmark the ASM Hartford web site and check it regularly. We will continue to send out email notices to those on our distribution list prior to events.

2005-2006 Schedule:
To receive an email notice of the next chapter meeting, contact the Webmaster.
