Hey fellow CFUnited followers!

Call for Speakers is coming to a close. Officially, the last day to submit topics is February 5, 2010. Submit anything you want, before midnight next Friday at the Call for Speakers.

If you submit after this date, it will most likely never get looked at, and probably gather dust in a dungeon off the coast of Antarctica.

PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR TOPICS!!!!

Hotel to Hotel Shuttle Update

FYI, everyone we have changed the shuttle slightly for the circulator. It will leave at 6:30 AM from Lansdowne then stop at the Town Center for a moment, then Holiday Inn for 10 minutes, then Comfort Suites for 10 minutes, then so on. This way people will have time to check for the shuttle at each location.

At 12:15pm and 5:30pm the same circulation will occur each day.
