<DIV><FONT size=2>the original intent was not so much to combat
discrimination against women in the workplace, directly, but to expose
girls to future career possibilites that they might otherwise be discouraged
from pursuing in school</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>it's interesting that the issue of including boys in the event
would be raised. i have no opinion either way -- i don't even have kids (i would
love a "take your beagle to work day" :) -- just wanted to throw in my 2
cents</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>That sounds great, Mike. Thanks for taking the lead and
getting us </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>organized. I'll work with the folks
here at NCSA to get us under control </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>and we'll get
back to you.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Oh . . . there is one more thing. Boys. Among
groups that I'm familiar </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>with, there has been
considerable discussion about whether it should be </FONT><BR><FONT
size=2>"Take your Children to Work" day. If we hope for our children not
to </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>discriminate between the sexes, we should probably
not lead by bad </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>example. What's the policy on
this event?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Regards,</FONT> </P>
