June found a way to sneak up on us, coming with no sun but that is not going to keep the PDX 501 Tech Club from celebrating summer. 

Join the Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN) for Happy Hour on June 19 at the Lucky Labrador in the Northwest. 

This a chance for local nonprofit techies to relax and get out from behind our computers.  We will have some conversation about your favorite tools to get the job done and how you are using them or how you wish you could use them. 

Date: Thursday, June 19 Hour: Happy @ 4:30

Place:  Lucky Labrador NW - 1945 NW Quimby
