haha I moved my college visit trip back another week so I will be able to make this one Glad to see where I have my priorities!

[gthorpe2]

What about everyone having a name tag so we know who everybody is??? (i.e. Screen Name... gthorpe2; real name... Greg) Any ideas?

[rEd86]

Paid members all have membership badges if you filled out your "Real Name" in your user profile. Everyone just needs to remember to bring them to the swap. If you haven't attended a meeting, you can pick up your badge at the swap. (PM me to confirm we've printed one for you)
