Score!

You might remember that we gave Brenda Huettner’s book as a door prize at the June meeting. I met Brenda in Atlanta at the annual STC conference, and since she made a bunch of us Twitter badges, I suspected she was good people. The discount she’s offering STC members on the electronic version of her book proves it. $5 for STC members, $10 for nonmembers. She’s of the Southern Arizona chapter, by the way.

Member?

Yes, I’m an STC member $5.00 No, I’m not a member $10.00
