Friday is Independence Day. This is the final week of the early registratio=
n discount!
That person you've been thinking about talking to? Call them. Print the fly=
er and head to their desk, or just call them. Ask them if you can give shar=
e their contact information and if they say yes, *I'll* talk with them. The=
re's no sense in missing discounts. Even if, for whatever reason, you just =
want to pay more, take the discount, and send us a gift, instead. Let your =
gift be a gift.
Make sure that when they register, they send an email or otherwise let me k=
now that you're their Linux Camp Daddy/Mama/Non-gender-specific-parent so S=
FS can thank you appropriately.
Got questions? I'm right here.
BTW: We're up to 4 bunks taken, 2'ish sorta spoken for, and 10 wide open. L=
et's fill 'em. It's more fun with more friends.
