We should probably have four or five newbie classes throughout the day an=

other presentations as well.
I sure hope that the school will provide the availability of food. If not=
we=20
will have to ask the list members for donations..... which brings up anot=

issue.
My feeling is that we should put an ad into the AZ Republic. As such I ca=

the AZ Republic classifieds to get a pricing on such a venture. This is w=
hat=20
I was told:
Sunday minimum (3 lines about 20 characters a line) =3D $30
Saturday minimum =3D $22
Weekday minimum =3D $21
I'll give you all a can, which freeway exit do you all want to stand on?
Seriously though, we could probably raise $73 out of the PLUG membership =
for a=20
Saturday, Sunday, and then Wednesday advertisement. I will write receipts=

all donations to all who ask for it and then give back whatever change I =
get.=20
So let us brain storm! Here is my idea.
For a better computer-
Install Linux- cost=3D free.
480-844-1511 and so people will call me for more information.
What do you think? Of course if we get more money we can put more info in=
to=20
the AD.
