Which DALL-E ChatGPT illustration do you thinks best represents Marc's Gmail class at the Laurel Community Center in Madison County?
Hint... Marc doesn't have a chalkboard in his 'CORI Classroom #205.'
CORI is an acronym for 'Center Of Rural Innovation.' How appropriate! 😁

Greetings Geeks!
This is so amazing that we get to have a meetup at the normal time in November. No rearranging for Thanksgiving; no secondary backup plans; most importantly - NO TURKEY!
We're headed back to downtown Asheville and will be meeting at Asheville [Pizza] Brewing Company. Don't fret the name, its the downtown APB on Coxe Ave. We WILL be in the outside patio but it is enclosed by plastic panels and stays moderately comfortable.
Please RSVP so we can get an idea ahead of time what attendance will look like. We want to hold tables together and setup properly to promote networking and conversations.
