Re: [ARSCLIST] TX Meeting

[Brandon Burke <bburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kurt,

I wasn't aware that there was a Texas chapter of ARSC. Is there anything you
guys do besides sporadic meetings like this? Should I sign up as a TX member as
well? Just so you know, I'm a national member and audio digitization engineer at
UT. Just checking in.

Thanks, Brandon Burke
