I know we talked about it last year, but let's do it this time! Tammie and I can be the social committee

I'm available the weekend of March 6, three weekends after that (March 27), and every other weekend after that (April 10, 24, etc).

Dublin Park?
Monte Sano Park?

I like the idea of a get-together. Aside from my meetup.com girl group and tidesports.com luncheons, I'd like to have one from here as well.

I am a SAHM but worked in sales/accounting/teacher for many years. My husband is in contracts with a local company (private) that does very high tech computer stuff for all those things you don't hear about much!

I'm a Huntsville native who was an intel analyst in the Army, held a TS clearance, and also served as a commissioned Signal officer in the National Guard (a total of 8 years service) and for whatever reason I can't buy a job in the government contract OR civil service world. But I got the next best thing, I sell fancy pants beer for a living (craft, specialty, import...no Bud, Miller, Coors...yuck). I guess it could be worse.

I am a 30+ years Sr. PCB Designer (printed circuit board) for a small company in Research Park. We develop high speed audio/video routers and switchers. I'm proud to say all of the 2010 winter olympics on NBC are being broadcast thru our top of the line Cheetah 864XR routing system and I designed all of the circuit boards in the system.....just don't call me if you loose your signal I also do contract PCB design for various companies from home.

I am a self-proclaimed TS (Trophy Spouse), albeit of the 30-year-old, tarnished brass, "Most Improved Bowler" trophy variety. Retired both federal government and self-employment. Spouse retired both state government and self-employment, now in private industry.

I just wanted to see what the breakdown of public vs private employment looked like in HSV (at least of those represented on this forum)... not so much what everyone does for a living.

I'm a Software Engineer and Database guru state contractor in Research Park.
