Recruiting Students (Campus Ambassadors)

[Larry Cafiero]

Add me, Jack: I'm a student at Cabrillo College in Aptos (Santa Cruz
County), California. I'm an ambassador and I'm also the president
(albeit outgoing president in the Fall) of the Cabrillo College
GNU/Linux Users Group.

Let me know what I can do to help.
