tlug: More promotion with LinuxMall

[Craig Oda <craig@example.com>]

Hi,

I got this favorable response from Linux Mall.  I sent them
an e-mail in response to a posting on comp.os.linux.announce
that mentioned that they were selling stuffed animal penguins
of the Linux mascot.  When I looked at their home page I noticed
that they offered the penguin or other promotional resources
to user groups.  

A followup e-mail inquired as to how members notify linuxmall
that they qualify for the 10 percent discount on products
as members of TLUG.  

Hopefully, we should get another box of stuff for the next meeting.

If we get the Linux Tux mascot it is definitely going to be a 
big crowd pleaser.  Though, I think we should leave Tux on permanent
display in Joe's office so that members can enjoy it for years
to come. 


Regards,
Craig

We will be happy to add you to our list of user groups, and to send some
goodies for door prizes and give-aways. I will put together a package
and get it on the way to you this week.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Carol Harris
