Subject: Information town hall meeting

My name is Dean Obermeyer, and I am the Educational Technology Coordinator at Los Alamos Public Schools. I have scheduled an informational town hall meeting with Qwest Wednesday, June 18, 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. in the LAPS Board room at 751 Trinity to discuss the opportunity and benefit of Qwest's metro optical ethernet (QMOE) service in Los Alamos and White Rock. I am organizing this effort since the school district is interested in utilizing QMOE to interconnect our individual school networks with high speed and reliable connections. Qwest will require additional commitments from business and community members before they will build the infrastructure. This infrastructure and service will provide beneficial data, voice and video communications in our community.

Would you please assist me in promoting this informational meeting? Who in our community should I personally contact? I am listing some of the benefits QMOE below.

Thanks,
Dean
