The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) cordially invites you to a NRAO Community Event at SPF1. This event is designed for all astronomers, and in particular for those who do not regularly utilize radio data in their research. The workshop will be one full day, and will provide an overview of the NRAO facilities, a brief discussion of mm/submm interferometry and an overview of the proposal preparation and submission processes. In the afternoon there will be a hands on session to prepare proposals for the upcoming ALMA Cycle 3 deadline.  Breakfast and lunch will be provided for registered participants.
