The Electroregeneration Society doesn’t just need help during the holidays, please consider helping throughout the year.  They are open most Saturdays and you can volunteer anytime.  Watch for our classes coming soon as well.

Enjoy these pictures (the set is available on flickr):

See you all at next year’s UTOS Installfest at the Electroregeneration Society.

This month’s lunch is a bit late for November so we’re combining it with December’s lunch and moving it to the first Thursday this month. The reason we’re doing this is because we have a special guest who is joining us.  She’s a former Utahn who’s returned for the holidays and wanted to spend a little geek time with the ones she really loves, us!

If you don’t know her, come and meet this local celebrity.  She’s the one and only Sheri Bigelow…

Back from New York for a few days, she will be dining with us at Pat’s Barbecue.

If you’ve never been to Pat’s before, it’s an amazing BBQ place.  We’ll be meeting in the main area in the back at one or two of the tables there.  Make sure to look for our geek lunch logo.

Here’s all the details:

Where: Pat’s BBQ / 155 West Commonwealth Avenue (2125 South)  / South Salt Lake, Utah 84115 (map)
When: December 3, 12:30-2pm

See you all there!

Cheers,

Clint
