What's up everyone - the summer is now under way even if the
calendar hasn't made it official. Our list of events is LARGE
already as it should stay for the summer. Here's the raw facts
of what's coming up.

P.S. Congrats to all you graduates! Please make sure I've got
your updated addresses as well as the addresses of your friend
you know should be hooked up with the good stuff.

As always, we welcome any and all feedback and
thanks for your support
-Andrew
