November Silverlight User Group Meeting with Kathleen Dollard in 2 weeks!

We're exactly in between our October meeting and our November one, so this seems like a good time to prompt everyone to put November 4, 2009 on their calendar!

Kathleen Dollard is going to be at our November 4 meeting, giving us all the inside scoop on MEF!

This is our first time to have someone not local to the valley speak at one of our meetings. I'm hoping to see a large turn-out, so let all your dev-friends know. See you there (early).
