I hope everyone can help congratulate Jennelle at the next meeting, she was just awarded Microsoft MVP status in Windows Desktop Experience on January 1st. This is a pretty big deal as there are only approximately 4,000 MVP’s worldwide. We are fortunate enough to have several associated with our user group but adding another is wonderful!
Congratulation to Jennelle, great job and keep up all the good work. If you haven’t checked out her blog yet you should, it is at www.techbunny.com. She is also on twitter.
