NOTICE: All attendees who have successfully RSVP'd by 14-MAY-2003 16:00 should have already received an "RSVP-ACK" EMail. If you did NOT receive this email, you are probably NOT registered and you won't be able to get past security. The final list has now been sent into Chase.
Introduction
SHORT NOTICE YOU NEED TO RSVP QUICKLY!
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
---------------------
* IN ORDER TO PASS THROUGH SECURITY AT CHASE, WE NEED YOU TO RSVP
* PRIOR TO THURSDAY, SO WE CAN GET YOUR NAME ON THE ATTENDEE LIST.
* ADVANCE REGISTRATION AND PHOTO ID ARE REQUIRED!
-- RSVP DEADLINE IS 14-MAY-2003 16:00 --
-- YOU WILL RECEIVE AN RSVP ACK MESSAGE WHEN YOU ARE REGISTERED --
Please RSVP if you know you are attending or if you think you may
be attending. This will help us arrange for a letter to security
for all of Unigroup. It will also help us to determine the correct
amount of food and refreshments.
To REGISTER for this event, please RSVP by:
a) If at all possible, please use the Unigroup Registration Page.
This will allow us to have some automation in the registration process.
b) If you have no web access and you really must EMail us, send an
EMail containing the FIRST and LAST NAMEs of the persons attending
to the Unigroup RSVP Address:
unigroup-rsvp@ unigroup.org
The EMail subject should start with "RSVP".
You may optionally include your contact phone number (that day)
or other current information.
Sample EMail:
RSVP LastName FirstName your_email@domain.dom 000-000-0000
ALSO: Do NOT give us an email address which is over quota
and cannot receive any new email. This causes us to receive
bounces from your address when we send out the RSVP-ACKs.
You must have a working and valid email address in order
to get on the Unigroup Meeting Attendee List which will
grant you access to our meetings. Be sure to proof-read
your email address before submitting the RSVP request.
Please continue to check the Unigroup web site:
http://www.unigroup.org
for any last minute updates concerning this meeting. Please
check your email for any last minute announcements prior to the

be provided to Chase Security.
Directions
The 1CMP building is situated: South of Liberty Street, North of Pine Street, East of Broad/Nassau Street and West of William Street. The building is one block east of Broadway, right behind 140 Broadway.
The closest entrance to the conference center is from Nassau Street, first elevator bank from the Nassau Street entrance.
The building is on a raised platform. Walk up the outside stairs at Nassau Street and head for the guard's station at the south-west corner of the building. Tell the guards you are heading for Unigroup. They will inspect your ID and carry-ins and direct you to the meeting facility, assuming you are on the Unigroup RSVP list.
Once you get upstairs, enter the conference facility through its main doors. There is a bank of large monitors to the left of the entrance which should direct you to the Unigroup meeting room (the room may vary from month to month). To the right of the main entrance is the concierge's desk, ask for help there if you need anything. The conference facility has two levels, keep in mind that the Unigroup meeting may be up the staircase on its upper level.
As always, also look out for Unigroup signs marking the path to the meeting room. Also note, if you come early, we may not have our own signs in place yet (we have to commute there too).
