    <p class="lead">We are a <a href="http://codeforamerica.org/brigade">Code for America Brigade</a>, which
      means we're volunteers that contribute our talents toward improving the way our local
      governments and community organizations use the web. The Brigade is about action and you're
      here because you are someone who takes action.
    </p>
    <p class="lead">We do a lot of things together, but our main activity is our <a href="http://www.meetup.com/codefornrv/">Hack Night</a><!--, which is held every Wednesday night from 6:00 to 9PM-->. The Hack Night is for those who want to:</p>
    <ul class="lead">
      <li>get work done on civic projects</li>
      <li>start a new project, or find one to join (all backgrounds welcome!)</li>
      <li>bounce ideas and get help from tech and gov experts</li>
      <li>learn about open data, smart cities, and open government</li>
    </ul>
