Agenda: 1. Discussion and call for a volunteers: "How Do We Restart the Charlotte Area SAS Users Group?"

Presentation by Andrew Karp of Sierra Information Services: "Tips and Techniques for PROC MEANS."

Attendees who bring two cans of food for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina will be eligible for door prizes that include SAS manuals, t-shirts, and coffee mugs.
