Greetings from the desk of Don Hicks...  

The AeA Orange County Technology Business Showcase, originally scheduled for December 9, has been pushed back to the first week of February 2009.

Details on the new date and venue will be announced soon.

Instead, I recommend the British American Business Council luncheon featuring the All-American Boys Chorus on Friday, December 12, at the Hilton Hotel in Costa Mesa. This is going to be a very entertaining and festive event. You may register here. 

Have a happy holiday season.

Regards,

Don Hicks AeA/OC Executive Director
