From: Arthur Tabachneck on
The next meeting of the Toronto Area SAS Society (TASS) will be at
8:30am,
Friday, June 11th, 2010. The meeting will be held at SAS Canada, 280
King
Street East, 5th Floor, Toronto, Ontario.

TASS has grown so much since it started in 1985 (our recent meetings
have
had between 200-300 attendees) that we are trying a new format this
year:
an all day meeting with the afternoon session devoted to Enterprise-
guide
and similar interfaces-related topics and a morning session devoted to
everything else. Our March meeting was extremely successful using
that
format, thus we've decided to continue using it.

The agendas for the two June 11th, 2010 sessions include:
