Hi all, I want to say thank you, first, to the many of you who reached me in my time of bereavement over the holidays. As you noted, losing a parent is tough no matter how old or sickly they are. Your support means a great deal to me. Moving to the more mundane . . . We have several opportunities in the next few months to participate in regional college-sponsored career fairs. I want to gauge interest in these events before committing to a Hidden-Tech table. One event is at UMass in February and the other is at American International College in Springfield in April or May. In both cases, there is a fee of $200 or so to enter. I imagine we will ask members who want to attend or be represented to pay a fee ranging from $10 to $20 to cover costs. Please write to the list if you're interested in these events, which focus on recruiting students as employees. However, there are students seeking subcontract work and/or part-time jobs. Some are interested in developing their own virtual companies. best, Amy Zuckerman Hidden-Tech founder, co-chair
