Summer Fun
by Jason Della Rocca (June 2002)
To take advantage of Montreal's warm summer weather, we decided to hold the season closer at a local terrace/pub. In theory this would have been great, but the rainy weather and the fact that the owner "forgot" our reservation didn't help any. Despite challenges, over fifty local developer and industry types came to hang out before the chapter takes its summer break.
The goal was purely for fun and unwinding - no lectures, no welcome talks, nada. Just beer and schmoozing :-) Not much to report on I suppose.
See you all in the Fall!
Big thanks to our sponsor for the June gathering:
