Volume 2 Number 4             October 2006
Casino Party and Gold Membership

The Casino party is shaping up to be the HDNUG event of the year and has gotten a lot of support from Sponsors and members. After the games there will be an auction using your winnings to buy things like a Weekend at Sam's Town in Vegas, a copy of VS 2005 and many more items.
Admission is $25 but free for Gold members and their dates. Another great reason to become a gold member.

We have the Casino party in December and great speakers lined up in November and Jan. already.
