Thomson Reuters Visit Dec. 11

Thanksgiving Parade turned out to be LOTS of fun, fun, fun :) And a Thanksgiving Dinner was yum, yum, yum :)

As for the next activity, we are going on a field trip. The plan is to go visit Thomson Reuters, Friday, Dec. 11, noon - 2 p.m. We will tour their facility in Dexter, Mi, and have lunch and a table discussion with their women software engineers. We will eat and talk - can you imagine anything better than that? We are to discuss career related topics and go wherever the discussion takes us. BTW - here is the link to Thomson Reuters' website: http://thomsonreuters.com/about/ but better yet, here goes Thomson Reuters' promo clip.

Our group is very grateful to them for hosting this Women in Technology event. Yippee!
