[PLUG] [plug-announce] CANCELLED! No PLUG on Wed! Re: Wed Mar 7 - PLUG Central - "The Theory and Practice of Stargates" by John Ashmead (7pm at USP)

["Paul L. Snyder" <paul@pataprogramming.com>]

This has been announced on the PLUG discussion list, but this month's 
PLUG Central meeting is CANCELLED due to the predicted storm (already in
progress). Our hosts at USP are closing for tomorrow, and we'll be
following suit by rescheduling John's talk for sometime in the future.

Stay safe, everyone, and see you at a PLUG meeting soon!
