This Thursday, February 28 in the Hondius Room at the Estes Valley Public Library, EPICUG members and the public are welcome to attend and encouraged to participate in the first annual EPICUG:\TECH\SWAP. If you have outgrown the need for a piece of technology in your life, bring it to the Library. If you need a piece of technology, come look for it – if you don’t find it, you’ll definitely find something irresistible.
