Hi, folks. I just rec'd the following message. I've never been to one of these, so can't answer questions; pls direct questions to Dale Thompson (phone # below). Jai Jai "Every month there's an event in Austin called the High Tech Happy Hour. It's primarily a networking event for people in the high tech industry, but the admittance fee of $5.00 per person is donated to a local non-profit. This month the event will be Thursday, January 27 and the beneficiary non-profit is Austin Free-Net. There's always a different sponsoring high tech company and this month's sponsor is the employer of one of our great volunteers, Maria Poarch of The Knowledge Capital Group. The details are below. Anyone is welcome, so please consider yourself invited. Dale Thompson, Financial Mgr. Phone: 512/326-9084 Austin Free-Net Fax: 512/326-8309 1711 S. Congress Ave., 3rd Fl.

They are springing for a great food spread, a free drink, a cool band, and some free virtual golf contests. The band is Blushing Brides, you may have caught them at Fado's. Copper Tank has a virtual golf set up so we'll have a longest drive and closest to the pin contest. Non-golfers are definitely invited to try it out. We have the whole Copper Tank from 6-9 so be sure to invite your colleagues,co-workers, vendors and friends. In the spirit of connecting the high tech community with Austin charities, Austin Free-Net will be present with information on how their organization is reducing the problem of the "digital divide" -- the growing inequality of opportunity between people who have Internet access and people who do not. And they'll explain how Austin Free-Net provides free public access to the Internet and emerging technologies for all Austin residents.
