The National Geographic Society was founded at the Cosmos Club in 1889. The Club presently occupies a mansion which was originally built in 1899, and was a private home until the Club acquired it in 1951. With Powell auditorium, which was added later, and a spectacular banquet facility, the Club is an excellent location for the AIPR Workshop. Gentlemen are expected to wear a coat and tie in the public areas of the club, and ladies wear comparable attire. The Club building, 2121 Massachusetts Ave. NW, is located at the Southeastern end of "Embassy Row," which contains many of Washington's embassies and consulates. Dupont Circle, the hub of Washington's night life is two blocks away. An enormous variety of restaurants, from fast food to Washington's finest, as well as shops and nightclubs, are in the Dupont Circle area. Parking in the Dupont Circle area is limited both night and day. The Club is a five minute walk from the "Q Street" exit of the Dupont Circle station on the Metro, Washington's comfortable, efficient subway system. Any of the city's hotels is in easy reach via the Metro. 6.0 How To Receive More Information The complete text of the printed program for The 23rd AIPR Workshop is available via anonymous FTP at: spie.org meetings/programs/ 23rd_aipr_workshop.txt It is also available through SPIE's automated e-mail server: Send an e-mail message to, info-optolink-request@spie.org with the following text in the message body: send [optolink.meetings.programs]FILENAME.txt To request a printed program via e-mail contact: spie@spie.org For information regarding this meeting or other SPIE symposia or publications, contact SPIE at: SPIE International Headquarters P.O.
