It appears there is a conflict with tonight's modlab. Artengine will be holding their Annual General meeting in the regular meeting space (M70). Of course those that are interested in the AGM are welcome to attend, however, some of us who would rather simply enjoy the social without the politics will be meeting at Atomic Rooster at 7:00 PM 303 Bank St. All are welcome to join us.</span><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><br><div><div><br></div><div><div>--</div><div>Darcy Whyte</div><div><br></div><div>Art+ <a href="http://inventorartist.com/" target="_blank">inventorArtist.com</a> | Aviation <a href="http://rubber-power.com/" target="_blank">rubber-power.com</a></div><div>Contact: <a href="mailto:darcy@inventorArtist.com" target="_blank">darcy@inventorArtist.com</a> | <a href="tel:613-563-3634" value="+16135633634" target="_blank">613-563-3634</a> by appointment (no text)</div></div></div><div><br></div></div></div>
