Thanks for the welcome! Several other students and I are trying to get involved with the local business community and I hope EOK will be able to help us there.

Thanks for the welcome and the invite. I already have plans for tonight or I would join you. Barley's is one of my favorite Knoxville watering holes. Is this a standing Thursday night get together?
