As a member of the Indesign User Group Detroit Chapter, I would like to extend a hand and invite any and all designers that are interested in Indesign to participate in a meeting

http://www.indesignusergroup.com/chapters/detroit/events/763/

If you aren't too much of an Indesign fan, then come anyways. There is a raffle at the end for gift cards, books and even a CS4 package! All Free! That's the best word around designers nowadays. Don't bother about dinner either, they got that covered too.

It's February 5th at Schoolcraft College
6:30pm is the starting time.
