Hello guys,

first off I want to thank everyone in the Los Angeles Flex community for making LAFlex such a blast to run. As many of you may know from my announcement at the last meeting, I am going to be a dad in June. Yay!. And with all the work of managing our syndicated tech jobs service, which is starting to take off, working on some huge SearchCoders Flex RIA consulting projects, and starting a family I had to cut back on something, and LAFlex was it.
