Good Morning Membership
Last night we had a nice get together, with warm friends and good
conversation. Since 2001 NYLXS has grown and changed over time, but it
always impresses me that we have a fantastically warm group of people, a
family of members who have been the rock of my existence for nearly a
decade now. May it be in Lake Placid, CUNY, Kings Games, or here at
home, whenever we get together it seems like Thanksgiving. So long have
we been together, and so productive we have been as a team, that we
share deep and lifelong bonds which, at least for me, give depth and
meaning to our day to day trials.
I want to thank everyone who came by yesterday, and helped out. This
the threat of snow, I'm almost surprised anyone showed up at all. I also
want to give my deep appreciation to those who have donated time and
money to the NYLXS mission.
With regard to the last point, I have a modest fund raising goal for
NYLXS of $1000. We have raised $100 until now, and we have an immediate
need for another $200 by the end of next week. Anyone who can spare a
donation, or pay the $40.00 membership dues, now ***is*** the time to
make your stand for the organization before our internet presence goes
out.
Also, I want to call a meeting this week to plan classes and move
forward with the workshop. I was wondering if anyone has Manhattan
space to teach in? Perhaps we can use someones apartment twice a week.
I want to hold the meeting Wednesday at the Brooklyn Marriott Hotel
Lounge at 7PM. Without any objections, please consider this a firm
date.
One further thing. I need a young programmer to help me with a coding
project, someone who might want to sharpen their Perl and Apache skills.

President NYLXS
