In this regard please refer to the attached 2009 features list. This features list was also handed out at the April Council meeting. However, I am becoming worried as we have not received any substantial material from our members for the above-mentioned features yet, and the deadline of 30 June is looming. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-za"><FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Our magazine reaches around 8 500 readers monthly, and is also handed to decision-makers when SAICE leaders meet with them on local, provincial and governmental level. The SAICE magazine is therefore an ideal vehicle to showcase your Division's scope and field of expertise, interesting civil engineering projects in Gauteng, or happenings within your Division/Branch. Last year's September edition featured a number of very interesting articles, and, with your help, we would like to bring out a similarly interesting edition this year. </FONT></SPAN></P>

These languages are also rotated as sub-title on the cover. Should one of these languages happen to be your mother tongue, you are most welcome to send us articles in that language, together with a synopsis in English of approximately 25% of the length of the article. These articles need not necessarily be technical - they could have a history-and-heritage flavour (e.g. how things were when you were a child and how civil engineering has changed that), or why you chose civil engineering as a career, or anything interesting and relevant to the civil engineering environment that you would like to share with readers in your mother tongue.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><B></B></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><B> <FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The September magazine will be featuring</FONT></B></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"></FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><B></B></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><B> <FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">IsiNdebele. </FONT></B></SPAN></P>
