[OLPC-Chicago] Come Speak at my School?

[Mel Chua]

Hi, Ben - sorry for the late response. I've been sick and am crawling 
out from under a large backlog.

The ILXO staffers are scattered through the country at school and work 
right now, and none of us are currently in the Chicago area - but maybe 
one of the other local volunteers on this list might be interested in 
stopping by and saying a few words? The IMSA chapter came out to Boston 
to help with a deployment in January, and they've definitely got some 
cool stories to share.
