Mark your calendar to join us tonight, Wednesday, February 9th, at 6pm downstairs in the  Safari Room of Sanctuary.   Our Special Guest this week is Scott Hyster, Regional Vice President of Sales for First American Funds.  Primarily First American Technology Fund.  This fund returned an incredible 192.6% in 1999.  If you are interested in these kind of returns contact Baron at (480) 949-7331 or Katrina at (480) 425-9091   The First American Technology Fund is rated five stars by Morningstar.  One of the many reasons we like this fund is its track record.  Its total return over the last five years is 619% making the First American Technology Fund the fifth best fund overall for the past five years.    First American's success can be attributed to one man, Mr Roland Whitcomb, Teamleader of the fund. He has been with First American since 1987 and a portfolio manager for the past six years.  His belief is to spread the fund's assets as evenly as possible across a range of tech subsets instead of concentrating holdings on today's hottest tech sector.   Mr Whitcomb believes the first half of the year 2000 will be quite volatile, which has already proved to be true, however, in the second half he believes all sectors look good due to Windows product cycle, strength coming out of Asia and strong communications demand.   Baron and Katrina believe that Technology is here to stay and instead of owning a few tech stocks this is a great way to own 85 and be diversified within the sector.  The returns will continue to grow as the demand for new and improved technology increases.   For a complete listing of First American Technology Fund's portfolio and Prospectus contact Katrina or Baron.   It is with great pleasure that Scott Hyster, Regional Vice President of Sales, Representing First American Funds, will be our Special Guest this week.   Please plan on joining us to socialize, meet new friends and review your investments.
