[BozemanLUG] July BozemanLUG Meeting?

[Scott Dowdle]

Hello again,

I've only had one person let me know they are interested in the presentation and since it is tomorrow night, I'm wondering if I should cancel the meeting... OR are others planning on attending but haven't responded?

Please let me know.

TYL,
Scott Dowdle

> Anyway, I'd be happy to give an overview of the Virtual Bridges VERDE

> Would anyone be interested in that presentation?

> 3D printer demo and it is a go, I'll send out another email with the
> update. Otherwise, hope to see you at the meeting!
