POLL: Are you a teacher and/or CSTA member?

Time for a poll.  One of our members asked:

1) How many members belong to CSTA?
2) If members don't know about CSTA do you want information about the organization?
3) How many members are school teachers?"

We created a poll over for these questions, let us know if you're able to respond:

Interesting Organization

The "Obscure" organization came to my attention today and I thought I would share:

https://www.obscure.org/

Some useful information is also available here. They seem to have done and be doing things that are of interest to this community.
