[lug] LUG Digest, Vol 101, Issue 19 -- Announcement - New venue for BLUG meetings (anna)

Thu Mar 22 13:09:16 MDT 2012

Very good to know!  Thanks.

I'd considered taking a bus from home, but that costs $2.25 each way.  Is
BLUG worth $5 a meeting to me?  Yeah, but I'd rather do it for a quarter or
less if that's an option.  :-)
