That’s right you can add - immunology to your list of qualifications - gamers rock

Hey guys,
I made an announcement at the last meeting that we would likely meet this Saturday the 23rd - however as you probably surmised we are not - Due to scheduling conflicts we will not be having a meeting this month.  But look for an announcement soon for when the next one will be.  
The coordinators are taking this opportunity to go ahead and sure up the meetings for the next several months.
Cheers,
IGDA NJ
