It will be devoted to Crustacea, and probably 
finish our series of meetings on the problem

LAST ONE OF THE MILLENNIUM 
With January 1 rapidly approaching, it is time 
to schedule our year-end events. Among those 
is the 1999 SCAMIT Christmas Party. Our 
millennium-ending gathering will be held once 
again in the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. As in 
the past we will have the facilities to ourselves, 
a delightful experience, and one to be 
treasured. Attendees should plan on bringing 
some dish (it is, after all, a pot-luck), and if 
past parties are any guide, a feast should result. 
SCAMIT will provide a main dish of either 
turkey or ham, and will provide beverages.
