[SGVLUG] Reminder: SGVLUG Meeting: Python 101 3/11

[Rich Pinder]

Bummed I missed ... I"m a VERY old 'regular' member of the group (back 
in the pcc days), gone for years, and somehow got a ping (maybe thru 
slack ?) on this topic and meeting.
There was no calender link (time, zoom) in the slack, so I was figuring 
I'd get an email (like this one) to the list.
Then getting this last night from you Lan... i realized I blew it ! 
missed this interesting topic discussion.....

But I did not see an email with the event ANNOUNCEMENT ??   I checked 
spam and trash and at least i dont THINK I got the event email !  (but I 
see below you did send one to the entire list ?)

I dont do facebook.  Dont do instagram.  dont do meetup.  DO slack 
(poorly), and email of course.  I know the website is not updated (and 
understand...major pain)

Anyway.. thanks so much for organizing this group - I miss scale - and I 
hope to join on future meetings.

(any chance Andrews part of the presentation was recorded ??)

thx
