[RTC List] Businesses and presentations during Holiday Season

[Robert Beckerdite]

All,

  In about 90 days i will be in the area full time and eager to present some
information on Microsoft Technologies and how they can facilitate business.
I would love to participate in either one event or a series of events
discussing technology and how it can contribute to the sucess of the local
economy. If this concept develops further please include me in the
discussion.
  I also would attend sessions on other technology but would need them to
take place after 6 PM because like Pat it is necessary for me to be
available during the day for my customers. If there is anything i can do to
help move this along please let me know.

Thank you,
