"Hello, everyone! I'm name, organizer of this Python user group. Thanks for coming to the project night. We have wifi here, and food and drinks that you can take; thanks to sponsor name for making that possible. We're excited about having people of all experience levels in Python here today, and to support them, we have a few people who are excited about helping beginners. Can I get those people to stand up? We've labeled a table as the "Beginner's corner," so if you specially want mentorship today, go visit there and say hi to the person next to you, and talk with one of the lovely people who want to help you have a great time with Python. I'll be here all evening, so if you need anything else, just ask me. Thanks to all of you for coming!"
