<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello All,
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Just a little shameless self promotion! This year at the Mid-Atlantic
Regional Convention I will be rolling out a new database design class for
CAUTs. Along with a comprehensive approach to database design, I will
introduce some new features to the Inventory & Workload database. Also,
below is a description of Chris Solliday's class on Institutional Contracts.
Pack up your muskets and tuning forks and head to Valley Forge, PA on April
19! </DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">A comprehensive look at an essential tool in any
institutional piano maintenance program. A piano should be tracked from the
time it arrives until it leaves. In addition to tracking the inventory and its
maintenance, a system to keep track of your budget is also necessary. Don will
demonstrate his use of FileMaker Pro to track these items. A key tool for a
CAUT member is the CAUT Guidelines Inventory & Workload Formula. Don will
also demonstrate his latest FileMaker version of the workload formula that
allows easier and faster data input. The concepts of database construction and
use presented in this class can be used in other database programs.</DIV>
