[MAIPC] WLBG workshop registration. Dec. 8; this weekend!

[Jenn Truong]

 Folks,

If you're planning on attending the MAIPC Workshop and Business Meeting
this Saturday in MD, please RSVP as soon as possible (by COB today
preferred). We need to confirm the lunch/coffee catering order by noon
tomorrow and want to make sure we have enough food/drink for everyone.
There are no restaurants within walking distance of the event location.

Plus, as Damien mentioned yesterday, the first 40 registrants will receive
a free copy of the newly published "New Invaders of the Northeast and
Northcentral United States”.

This is open to the public so please share widely.

*Register here now!
