Hey Team L.A.,

  First and foremost, I thank all of you who replied to Chuck's msg last week

about logos.  If the Serious MUG has a group logo, we would like to be able

to include it in upcoming promotional materials...

  And now, here's the latest, hot off the mailserver from today...!

  I know that I am *not* planning on selling anything on behalf of QMUG/LA,

but if you are planning to do so for your group, *please* let both me and

Chuck know by next Weds, 11/20/02...!  Thanks...!

  Dan, if you have not pre-registered for MW/SF yet, then maybe we can help

you out w/ an Exhibitor Pass...?  Please let us know if we need to reserve

one for you...

 

> We're shooting for having the announcement of the Booth go live on Friday.

  There you have it...!  We'll try to keep the updates to a minimum, but

immediate when they're important...  Chuck does have a mailing list for all

regional organizers...  If you want to be subscribed, let Chuck know...!

  Oh, and Andrew, I don't have Thomas' e-mail address, so could you be so

kind as to fwd this update to him, or let me know his address for future

updates...?  Thanks...!  Hope you're all having an awesome autumn...
