[Hidden-tech] Ignite Amherst!

[Jeff Rutherford]

Baer,
This sounds like a great event. I'm going to try and make it.

I would also encourage anyone who is trying to improve their public
speaking-presentation skills to consider Toastmasters. The Northampton
Toastmasters group meets the first and third Wednesday evening of every
month. Here's a link to the website -
