[activities] Re: [SLUG] May SLUG Monthly Meeting: Friday, May 29 2009

Hello everyone,

We are still in need of a speaker for our In-Depth session for our
meeting next Friday.

Speakers get a free dinner, fame and fortune*, and our eternal gratitude.

If you can't speak this month, we're always looking for speakers for
meetings in the future.

Please e-mail your interest to 'committee at slug.org.au'.
