<p><font face="Calibri">Happy birthday, Hidden Tech!</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">How has the mailing list helped me? Great
tech support for some of my tech issues, and the ability to pass
along projects to this community for someone else to pick up is
very helpful. Your early involvement to make it happen and
Rich's tireless volunteerism to keep it running are both very
much appreciated. Hidden tech is an invaluable tool.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">That said, I wish the website was better and
more interactive. We are missing out on more opportunities.
Where is the login link to update a listing? Also, it appears
all the links in the footer are Rich's sites, and the copyright
date says 2009.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri">The search results on this page are
obviously way out of date; there should be an option to sort by
<b><i>updatedDate desc</i></b>; and the description text is way
too small. It should also include the date added or updated so
we know how old the listing is.</font></p>

<div>Wow!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I never imagined that the network would reach its second
decade when I started outreach to business owners to create
the very first meeting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Nate Treloar offered space in his south Amherst office and
sent out information to the opening event through his
90-person Christmas list. I added a number of people,
including members of the new western Mass. Technology
Enterprise Council (TEC).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We expected maybe 10 people. Instead the office was swamped
on that amazing night that Hidden Tech (then Hidden TEC) was
born. Richard Roth took over building the discussion list with
permission of a new board and eventually led development of
today's website. By September we had a least 250 on the HT
discussion list and by 2010 Rich said there were 2,000.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anyone wants to celebrate with me I will take you to the
location on Wentworth Farm in Amherst where we held HT's first
anniversary party. Or we can meet in Formosa (formerly Amherst
Chinese) where our first ever board meeting was held. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And a BIG THANK YOU to Rich for keeping Hidden Tech alive.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How about writing to this list and tell us all how it has
helped you build your business. And find me to tell me your
experiences. That would make me very happy.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>be well!</div>
