Join us Thursday, December 15 at 1pm ET / 10am PT, for a special edition of our monthly call. (Convert to your local time zone.)
Our usual informal get-together will be even more so, as we gather to celebrate the season with friends old and new.

This free call is sponsored by NTEN.org and open to everyone.
