Subject: [Vblearn] Speaker details C# and VBLearn user groups

Please share this information with your colleagues.

This bulletin is to pass along information about a special speaker at the
C# User group
tomorrow night and to give you a heads up on our guest speaker for this
month's VBLearn User Group.

The VBLearn had an outstanding turnout last month. Once again I strongly
encourage you to
attend this month's VBLearn meeting. Better the attendance increases our
ability to enlist
high quality outside speakers.
