Many New Sponsors Added - Check out our Giveaways for December and Beyond

We have recently added many new sponsors for our group and more are coming. This is good news for everyone involved. It's good for the group because it provides an extra incentive for people to attend our meetings and more attendance means more diversity, discussion and sharing. By providing our members with great material to broaden their knowledge and experience it's good for sponsors because they gain exposure to people who are actively seeking to improve and share their technical knowledge with others.

Here is our sponsor information as of December 2007 - Thanks to all of our sponsors!
