A wonderful thing happened today, I reached out to a community and they welcomed me!

Now just a few short hours later after my first post, I am confident that not only will I be able to have a beer with a few Drupal guys in Ames but it is likely that there is enough interest that a regular monthly meeting is possible. This rocks!

I wanted to re-post this as a true event so people can sign-up and see it on the calendar.

Hello everyone,

You are invited to join the Surrey Drupal Users Group for our next meetup on July 10th. Rick Vugveteen of ImageXMedia.com will be presenting on How to Build a Blog with Views.

Look for us at the front of the restaurant to the LEFT. Be prepared to give a 2 minute introduction of yourself and your experience with Drupal and your favourite Drupal project you have worked on.

Be sure to sign up for this event to let us know you are coming. You can order food and drinks (non-alcoholic) at ABC Restaurant. After the meetup, attendees have the option of going to the Fleetwood Arms Pub for stronger drinks :-) It's only a couple blocks away.
