[ayako kato <ayako.kato@example.com>]

Dear TLUG members, 

I'm so sorry for the last-minute announcement (and excuse my English! I
had to write this in a rush.) Everyone please come join.  This will be a
relaxed and casual gathering. If you have new Linux toys to show off, or
if you're interested in doing a short technical presentation (can be 10 -
20 minutes up to one hour), please drop me a line, or just show up at the
meeting.

Looking forward to seeing you!
Ayako
