WITI South Florida, decided to start a monthly Girl(and Women and Men)Geek happy hour! This is a "just for fun" event. It is an excellent opportunity for like-minded women to get together, discuss and learn in an informal environment about technology and science. Drinking, cat eyeglasses and throwing around css terms are not required, but are appreciated. How do I know if I qualify to be a girl geek? Don't worry about qualifying yourself. If you think you're a girl geek,you probably are. Come on down and see for yourself. The whole point is to meet new people. What's the point, really? Look, we're girls. We're social. We can like motherboards and MAC. We need to remind each other that we're out there, mentor each other and encourage girls to fly their geek flag proudly. Oh Yeah - Like all WITI events, Boys can come too! The Small Print: This is a "just for fun" event so that we can get to know one another in a fun non stressful way. Food and drinks are on your own! Please let me know if you are going to come! Jackye Clayton (witi-southflorida at corp.witi.com) Regional Director WITISouth Florida
