The next regular meeting of the OARC is April 9th, 2008. This is homebrew night so bring out those projects you have built and show them off.
Regular Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month, (except July and August) usually in the Honeywell Room 2nd floor of Ottawa City Hall (formerly Regional Municipality of Ottawa Carleton Headquarters/Old Teacher's college) at 111 Lisgar Street. Meetings commence at approximately 19:30 hours. Have a look and you'll see that the OARC has a lot to offer.
Members who receive their groundwave by e-mail are reminded that if they don't get their groundwave to e-mail the groundwave editor. There have been a few e-mail addresses that have bounced.
