1) Membership Contest - Win a weekend at the Don CeSar!

Members who bring a guest March General Meeting (Tuesday, March 18th at the Largo Cultural Center) will get 1 ticket to a drawing for a weekend at the Don CeSar Beach Resort & Spa.  Tickets will also be awarded at the meeting to members who brought guests to the recent Open House.

You get an additional 3 tickets for this drawing if they join the club before the drawing.  So remember, 1 ticket for getting them to accompany you to our monthly meeting, and 3 more tickets for each one who signs up.  What a great way to get a free weekend out!

This is a special drawing!
The winner will be drawn
at this week's meeting,
and MUST be present to win.

2) TBCS Class Updates

New classes have been announced!  We're taking registrations now for several new classes - including one on how to burn your own CD-ROMS.  You can see our current schedule at:
http://tampa-bay.org/classroom.htm

We need a volunteer to coordinate our classroom endeavors.  Art Crofford offered to get this initiative jump-started.  He's set up the lines of communication, recruited some of the instructors, and helped to develop the rules by which the classroom operates, but he's also about to take on some pretty big responsibilities for his Rotary Club and needs to move on.  Please email our secretary, Dale Atchison at tbcs.office@verizon.net if you are interested in helping us out.

5) Congratulations to Diana Lawless!

Diana wrote an article for our Bits & Bytes in May of 2001 called Firewall Basics.  You can revisit that article at:
http://www.tampa-bay.org/BitsAndBytes/Archives/FirewallBasics.htm

The Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (ICFAI) has asked for permission to reprint Diana's article in their forthcoming Journal/Executive Reference Book on Digital Security.  Their publishing wing, ICFAI Books, is publishing various digest journals, magazines, and executive reference books.

"We find Firewall Basics by Diana Lawless quite useful and thus we would like to incorporate it in our forthcoming Journal..."

Way to go, Diana!
