Hello BendTechies, and welcome to our new members!

Anyone interested in an informal social gathering in May?

This can be as easy as meeting at Happy Hour on a Wednesday night, if people are interested. I know that the Blacksmith Restaurant opened up their side room to the Bend Blogger Meetup a couple of months, at no charge, and people bought their own food and drink. The bloggers met at The Summit Bar and Grill downtown last night, too.

So, whaddya say? Shall we try for Wednesday, May 14th, at 5:00 p.m., place TBD? Send me ideas, and I can reserve a free space. We can say hello to new members and reconnect with old friends. I'll update the "where" as soon as we figure it out!

Thanks, and feel free to email or call me directly:

I've put a call into Blacksmith about availability for Wednesday, will check in with them again on Monday.

How many of you are interested in attending a happy hour event this Wednesday, May 14th?

How many would rather try for Thursday, May 15th?

Please let me know, and I'll try to confirm something and send out a note by Tuesday.

Thanks,

Julie Anderson
