RE: SMALL FUNDS CONFERENCE - NOVEMBER 10-11 SECOND NOTICE
__________________________________________________________
You are cordially invited to attend the annual Small Funds* Conference which is scheduled for
November 10-11, 1994, at The Four Seasons Ocean Grand, Palm Beach, Florida.
For those of you who have been regular attendees at the Spring meeting and annual Fall Small
Funds Conference, you know the importance of these meetings in providing current information in the
areas of SEC rules, tax and pension, operations, marketing and legislation. The meetings are very casual
and open discussion is encouraged as attendees often share problems and concerns unique to small fund
groups. Good ideas are freely exchanged at the meetings and through the year as friends stay in touch
with each other. In addition, this is a very good opportunity to meet and discuss matters with the
Institute's senior staff. I strongly urge you to attend and, if you like, bring one of your associates.
The conference will begin on Thursday morning, November 10 and will continue through lunch
on Friday, November 11. There will be a reception and dinner for conference participants and their
spouses/guests on the evening of November 10. Attire for the meetings is casual.
Please note that Mr. Michael Andrews, President of ABT Financial Services has cordially offered
to sponsor a visit to the ABT offices in Palm Beach on Thursday, November 10, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
