Announcements

Thanks to those who came to the meeting. It was awesome to see some new faces and others we haven't seen in a while. Keep encouraging people to join us! Including our guests from Ripon, Fox Valley Tech, and various UW schools, we had just over 30 people in GLOW living room! 

After the meeting a bunch of us joined the people from Spectrum at Harmony Cafe for food at Applebee's. We met a bunch of really awesome folks. Anyone who is interested can meet up with the Spectrum gang at Harmony on Monday evenings at 7pm. Stacy and I and several others are planning to check it out, so you could come with us and go to GLOW meetings right after!
