In an effort to focus more on the community aspect of the local user groups, a few of the local user groups (WNYPass, MSDevWNY and WNYBOT) have reserved space at Pearl Street Grill and Brewery as a special December activity. This is intended to replace the user group meetings for the month of December as we all understand that it can be a busy time for many, which can lead to lessened attendance at group's regular meetings. Our goal with this special event is to allow the user group members to get to know each other better and have time to talk about both the technical and non-technical aspects of the local area in a relaxed atmosphere. We hope to be able to secure some sponsorship for the event to provide at least some appetizers for the group, but be prepared to pay for your food and drinks if you want anything specific. 

We look forward to not only this getogether, but to the planned events for the new year and hope that you'll all join us in celebrating where we've grown to so far.
