              HVRFlex - a different approach to rigid-flex

        The Greater Boston Chapter of the IPC Designer's Council will
        hold its next meeting on Tuesday, February 15th.  Please note
        the new meeting location, and that that a "door prize" will
        be given away at the end of the talk.

        Topic and Speaker:

        Joe Thoman, VP of Operations with Eastern Manufacturing Corp.
        (EMC) of Amesbury, MA, will speak on their process for making
        rigid-flex boards from standard FR4 materials.  Called "High
        Volume Rigid Flex", this approach eliminates many of the more
        difficult aspects of rigid-flex board construction.  Learn of
        the applications and design and manufacturing envelope of the
        process.

        Agenda:

        Please note there is a $15 meeting fee for members, $20 for
        non-members.  Pizza/soft drinks will be served.

        6:00        Arrivals and Pizza
        6:45        Chapter Business
        7:00        Joe Thoman - HVRFlex

        Location/Directions:

        The Best Western TLC Hotel in Waltham is located at exit 27A
        off route 95/128, proceed east on Totten Pond Rd and the
        hotel is on the left.

        RSVP's needed:

        Please RSVP by sending an email to [log in to unmask] with
        the subject "RSVP IPC/DC" by Tuesday morning, Feb. 8th.  Please
        treat this as a commitment to attend.

        Door Prize:

        A promotional copy of AutoCAD LT 98 will be given to a lucky
        RSVP'ed attendee at the end of the meeting.  You must be there
        to accept if you win.  This fully functional boxed and licen-
        sed copy of AutoCAD comes courtesy of member Kip Degen.

        President's Note:

        While we are very grateful to Lockheed for many years of use
        of their cafeteria, that space is no longer available to us.
        Therefore we've arranged for a hotel type of situation, which
        we hope will suit the group for some time to come.  While we've
        kept the meeting costs as low as possible, we do need to work
        with RSVP's to make sure we have enough space and food.  Here's
        hoping the group can work with the RSVP commitment in a very
        much "last minute" design world.

        I am personally very grateful for much help from the steering
        committee, most notably Judy Horn, in finding this reasonably
        priced meeting venue.  It has made for a difficult season, in
        needing to find a "new home" for the group.  I hope you will
        all work with me to make the new format work out, and allow
        a fresh season of informative meetings to proceed.

        Mission:

        Design is not called "do" for a reason.  Done properly, the
        design process is a creative problem solving discipline.  To
        address the packaging needs of electronics for today and to-
        morrow, the physical designer needs an avenue to get exposed
        and familiar with many different techniques and technologies.

        The Greater Boston Chapter of the IPC Designer's Council is
        committed to presenting stake holders from every aspect of the
        packaging realm.  Our hope is to help you gain insight and un-
        derstanding of the many possibilities in solving core problems.

        Your help and participation are most welcome.

        Thanks and regards,
--
