Did you ever feel that attending a downtown event was too much of a travel commitment because you live in North Toronto or Vaughan? Are you interested in an event during business hours rather than after hours?

Well this is the WordPress meetup for you!

In order to defray the meeting costs we ask for a $5 donation to each event. This money will be used to pay for meeting space rental and/or refreshments at each event.

Please donate $5 via PayPal. (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=WN3PNEWYAX7NC)
