Society News
We are always seeking to publish news from our Members at all levels of our society.  Please send your news directly to Bob Cartland at Newsletter@ossc.org

Recently Donn was asked to write an article about the OSSC for another association he has been a member of for almost 20 years.  He has written some Quantum articles for them in the past and they are all on the QOISC website under the 'Articles' dropdown menu.  This new article starts off with our "Aim & Purpose"; and can be found on the webpage:
 
Donn hopes you enjoy the article and near the end you can read a very brief mention about a new IMAX documentary he is developing with Macgillivray Freeman Films.
