August Meeting: Canceled

 Greetings,

Just wanted to give you all a heads up that the August meeting for CDUG has been canceled due to scheduling conflicts with our speaker. 

If you're itching for your DotNetNuke User Group fix for the month I highly suggest that you watch / follow the St. Louis DNN User Group for their Hackathon starting tomorrow evening.

For details on the Hackathon check out the following resources.

We look forward to seeing you back then at the Capital DUG in September!
