NYLUG Volunteer Meeting, Thursday October 19 6:30-800PM at the Winter Garden, World Financial Center (location and directions in announcement)
WE ARE NYLUG AND SO CAN YOU!
NYLUG has been meeting, socializing, and acting on issues of concern to our communuity since January 1999. If NYLUG is to continue, it needs your help. Meetings & tech presentations, dinner, movies, beer, places to hold meetings, announcements, working the meetings, maintaining servers, dealing with idiotic ISPs who blacklist our server .... these things don't just happen magically on demand. People in your community make them happen. People like YOU.
Please join us on *Thursday*, October 20, 2011 for a volunteer meeting at our traditional place of volunteer meetings. The Winter Garden at the World Financial Center is indoor public space overlooking the Hudson. WiFi is provided compliments of the Downtown Alliance. We will be gathered at the tables on the upper level, outside "The Grill Room".
If it is too noisy we will relocate either to the tables just outside or to another part of the WFC. Please be there by 7 PM. Information on how to contact us by phone during the event will be posted later.
