=====================================================================
The Capital Area SysOps Association (CASA) is an association of
SysOps from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area designed as a social
organization to provide a group of SysOps access to one another for
assistance with hardware and/or software questions.  The organization
invites speakers from the computer industry to address the group on a
monthly basis.  If you are a SysOp and would like to meet many of the
other SysOps in the area, this is an excellent place to do so. Please
visit one of our meetings.

CASA meetings are held on the second Saturday of each month at an
appointed location.  Should that date fall on a national holiday, then
the meeting is held on the third Saturday of the same month.  Meeting
times are 1:00 PM until 4:00 PM.  Exceptions to this schedule are posted
on our host BBS as messages in both the Main and CASA conference. We
normally have a guest speaker for each meeting.

There is no admission fee.  All meetings are open to current members and
guests.  All legitimate SysOps are invited to attend a meeting as our
guest to preview the content.  Non-members are encouraged to join CASA
to receive the benefits associated with membership.

The membership fee is a one-time payment of $ 10.00.  The monthly dues
are only $1.00 per month.  Mail your membership fee of $10.00 and your
monthly dues of $1.00 per month remaining in the calander year to:

Membership includes a monthly newsletter, other mailings as needed,
access to the private CASA conference on The World Data Network, access
to our monthly meetings and access to members who can (and will) assist
you in your times of need.  The discount at CompUSA for active members
of CASA could more than pay for your dues in a single visit.

Our host BBS, World Data Network, is a 50 node (and growing) system that
can be accessed by both members and non-members.  This BBS is located in
Reston, VA and the telephone number is a local metropolitan Washington,
DC number:  703.620.8900 or 301.654.2554. Once you register, you will
receive access to most of the nodes - a couple of nodes are reserved for
Internet, RIME, and FidoNet mailruns, etc.
