 Tired of the Same Old Lunch?-- Try EFF's "Brown Bag" and Hear About the
 Hottest Issues in Cyberspace

  right thing when it comes to protecting free speech and privacy
  rights? If you're located in the San Francisco Bay Area, have we got a
  deal for you!

  The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) announces a new "brown bag"
  lunch program, where EFF staff members will come to your place of
  business and talk to you about the hottest issues in cyberspace. We
  can update you on the work we are currently doing and/or tailor the
  talk to emphasize the issues that are specific to you.

  how to schedule these lunches from the appropriate people at your
