The second Wednesday of every-other-month is the schedule for the programs sponsored by the Professional Council of the McHenry Area Chamber. \ -- " 'To computerize or not to computerize' is such a question in the minds of many professional persons as well as small retail and service businesses, that we felt this was a most appropriate subject for our first offering of the 1985 season," ^said , Program Chairman Dr. James Lynott, a McHenry dentist. "As we are evalutating our 1984 business year and planning for an even finer 1985, administrative ef- ficiehcy gets close scrutiny, and the carrot of computerization dangles as an uncertain entity. We hope that this luncheon presentation will answer many questions not only for the un­ decided but also for those who have computerized and feel they are not utilizing their equipment to the maximum efficiency." Reservations can be made by calling the Chamber office at 385-4300 during regular business hours 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday or information can be placed on the answering machine and will be verified by the Ch&mber staff.
