[wplug-plan] Ohio InterLUG Meeting (fwd)

[bethlynn at wplug.org]

Hello,

I am very interested in going for the interesting program being
promised and to network with other lugs.

It appears to be a 3-3.5 hour drive from Pittsburgh. There appears
to be a motel 6 in the vicinity of OSU but it depends if anyone
wants to stay for "before and after parties"

Who else wants to go? Can we say, field trip!

Thanks,
Beth Lynn
