The TPF is sponsoring people who are new to Perl to come to YAPC::NA in Orlando, FL. The reduced cost is $50, which includes admission, hotel, and the Zero to Perl 5 Beginner Class. So far a couple other Chicago.PM members will be there (myself included), so if you or someone you know is new to Perl, this is a good opportunity to go to a high-quality conference at a steep discount.

Full details below.
