is an urgent reminder that the combined January-February 2011 edition
of SAICE's magazine, "Civil Engineering", will be featuring
information technology as it applies to civil engineering. This is an
ideal opportunity for your Division to showcase the scope
and depth of its activities, so please consider contributing to your very
own magazine. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

one thing that makes SAICE's magazine unique, is indeed the fact that
most of the articles in the magazine are supplied by SAICE
members. If one considers that our magazine reaches approximately
9000 readers every month, and is also handed to decision-makers when SAICE
leaders meet with them, contributing to the magazine becomes all the more
meaningful. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

(see contact details below). I would obviously prefer to have received all
contributions for the Jan-Feb magazine by that date, but if you need a further
extension to this deadline (with the end-of-year rush in mind), please let
me know as soon as possible so that we can negotiate a date that
suits your particular circumstances better, while still enabling me
to meet production deadlines. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
