Apologies for the delay in sending more information.  Several of you
have already indicated interest.

I was able to work out details and time for the event.


Saturday Sep 20, 2025 12:00 PM. 
203 Capcom Ave, Suite 114
Wake Forest, NC 27587

Basic program:

A brief Linux Introduction
	what it is
	what it isn’t
	short demo
        how to try it out
	how to get support


People are encouraged to bring a laptop or thumb drive.  Using Linux
Mint for distro.  Would like to help people load it on a thumb drive
and boot on their laptop.

I have a signup list for people attending.
