Resuscitating our local .NET Developer group

After a very silent and uneventful year, our local .NET developer group is very much dormant. In over a year, we haven't had a SQL Server presentation/meeting (with Bill Sulcius, who is perhaps, the most knowledgeable SQL2K Server person out there). The .NET events have been very few and with less attendance and vigor than the past ones. The truth is that our local MS office has been quite busy with the changing economy and priorities do change. I don't see much happening this summer but perhaps, the coming fall would bring in new events on Whidbey, Yukon, etc - ANYTHING!
