We have confirmations from Neil Hever for the conference room (seats 12) 
and from Terry Collings to be our instructor.

The book we will be using for the class will be "LPIC I Exam Cram 2" 
which can be purchased at 
http://www.skattabrain.com/css-books-plain/0789731274.html for $28.50 
and includes a test exam on a CD. You must have a copy of the book 
before attending training.

The cost of the training will be $45.00 per person and will be used to 
provide small donations to Terry and Neil (actually, the radio station) 
for their generosity.

The Thursday evening tests will be administered by Faber Fedor who is a 
registered LPI test admin.  The Level 1 Certification consists of two 
tests, 101 and 102, and will cost $50.00 each for a total of $100.00. 
(Faber, when is payment due for the testing?)

We currently have 8 people who say they are interested in the training. 
In the order I found them in my email :-)

	Mark Stanley (myself)
	Michael S. Dunsavage
	Jon McNamara
	Paul Reilly
	Brian K
	PJ Santoro
