From: "Daniel Halle" To: "user group chairs" Subject: Boston Networking event sponsored by IBM developerWorks Date: Friday, June 29, 2001 10:41 AM My name is Dan Halle and I am part of the Developer Community Outreach organization with IBM. We are sponsoring a networking event at the Boston beer Works on Aug 1 and I wanted to provide you with a copy of our invitation. If you would like to promote this event to your membership, would you be willing to forward this on to your distribution list of members. The event will be lots of fun and just a little bit on content. Please let me know if this is a problem, or if you have any questions. I would also like to offer my services of providing knowledgeable speakers that might interest your audience. I will be calling in the near future to see how we might be able to work closer together. Thank you for your assistance.
