Greetings!
It's almost hard to believe we are entering the holiday season and wrapping up another year. That's right, Thanksgiving is only 21 days away! I'd like to highly encourage you to join us at our annual Christmas luncheon and business meeting on December 14. The Technology Community has grown significantly over the past several years and our Council has grown along with it. There are some things we have in store for 2013 that you need to hear about, and we need to hear your thoughts as well. I hope that you will be able to join us. I promise you the most ridiculous food spread of the year, along with great networking! If you'd like to help sponsor our annual meeting please let me know.
