This will be an important business meeting, so please attend if you can. Chris, our STARS program coordinator for some years now, is stepping down from that post. We will need to discuss the question of his replacement. Update, 3 March: Chris has informed us that he will be continuing as STARS coordinator. (STARS is the program through which BGLUG refurbishes used computers, installs Linux, and makes them available through the United Way to "at risk" students who would not otherwise have a computer.)
