We hope you will be joining us tomorrow at Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton for our September WI-VMUG meeting. This is our first visit to FVTC as a meeting host so please provide us with some feedback on the venue.

We would like to our meeting sponsors Riverbed and Tegile with Heartland Business Systems for their support of the Wisconsin VMUG. A special thanks goes out to Jerrid Cunniff from VMware for making the trip down from Minneapolis and to Sean Massey from the Diocese of Green Bay for his WI-VMUG member presentation.
