DLSLUG Monthly Meeting / GNHLUG Quarterly Meeting - November 3rd

[Ted Roche]

If I haven't RSVP'd already, consider this your notice.

I plan to bring a car full with me, although everyone is tentative,  
as they are wont to be.

Any plans for dinner before-hand?

How about that car pool page? What did you have in mind.

Anyone in the Concord-Hopkinton-Warner area (or willing to drive  
there): looks like I have 1 seat, possibly more open for the trip to  
Dartmouth. Email me off-list if interested.
