Going for the long drag

Officially signed up with ProMatch today. This is the networking group sponsored by EDD in Sunnyvale, most service high tech workers -- engineers, managers, high tech workers changing careers or moving back to US after long term oversees jobs. A few years ago they had to keep a five months waiting list, with over 400 active members in the organization, but now they only have about 100 people, and everyone has to volunteer minimum four hours a week to keep it running.
