                       *** BEGIN THOTCON TRANSMISSION

Greetings:

We are sending this transmission to make sure you are the very first to know
some important upcoming dates related to THOTCON.

*** Volunteer Opportunity ***
What: 2nd Cyber Security Awareness Action Day
When: Saturday October 5, 2019 (11am - 3pm)
Where: Chicago Public Libraries around the city

Last year, THOTCON volunteers were deployed throughout the city of Chicago
across close to 80 CPL locations. In total, we were able to address almost
400 individual questions around 3 basic security topics: Passwords,
Patching, and Privacy.

This year Chicago Public Library and THOTCON have decided to partner up
again and focus in on strategically distributed locations that will have the
most impact. Our goal continues to be to teach the public to be more
security-minded and as a result share what they learn with others.

We need approachable, helpful volunteers to answer tech questions and offer
security tips. Sign up here by August 31st, 2019. The cost is $0, you'll get
a special THOTCON t-shirt, an invite to the after-party, and the opportunity
to be a part of making a big impact in our city!
