The Seattle Node.js Meetup is pleased announce our next meetup on Wednesday, May 20 with a great workshop led by StrongLoop (https://strongloop.com/). We’ll get food and beverages thanks to StrongLoop (https://strongloop.com/). Please bring a laptop and local Node.js installation (we all have that, right?) so that we can all code up our own REST APIs!

Call for Volunteers: We would appreciate some volunteers to help us breakdown the venue space after the workshop and give Moz back a sparkly clean venue. Please tweet / email us or comment on the Meetup event page!
