Re: CUUG February 28, 2016 General Meeting - Raspberry Pi

Please Note: This message is about a CUUG  event not CLUG.

For those interested on the CLUG-talk list let me know if you find this 
confusing as I all ready got a comment from a new comer who was not 
really sure at first which club meeting he was attending?

Thanks
