Omaha .Net User Group May Meeting

---

Fellow .Net Users,
We had a LOT of users show up for our April meeting and it was fun to see so many familiar faces all together. Let's keep the momentum rolling with our May meeting. We announced at the last meeting that it would be the last time we would use the previous web site and true to his word, Brian Olson has managed to finish the new site and get it up and running. Hopefully you'll enjoy the new look and the better functionality. I certainly know that I will!

Now, onto business, our next .Net User's Group meeting will take place on Thursday May 28th starting at 6:00 PM. Food and drink will be served by our sponsor starting 15-20 minutes before the meeting.
