The Association for Computing Machinery Washington DC Chapter will hold its 50th Gala on November 1, 2008. Not only are you invited to the party, but the special bonus is that the keynote speaker at the dinner is Bjarne Stroustrup, inventor of C++. This will be worth hearing!
This event is by invitation only but read on how YOU as CS Terps can attend …

First, PLAN AHEAD. Invitations will be mailed this summer, so any students who want to receive one should send their email address to the coordinator, Cora Dickson, ccdickson@yahoo.com (Include a working snailmail summer address. Online RSVP and payment will be an option, but an invitation is still required, and that goes out as hardcopy.)
