Our meeting yesterday, Sep. 2016 - - Unofficial news and updates from Betsy.

Hi, all!

I have some updates from the meeting yesterday. I will post this on our FB page too.

Invitations to the blog...

I am inviting all Members of the BGAMUG Computer Club to this blog today soon. If you are a former member, you may also want to join up. We may put this on the website so it shows up automatically later on.

At the meeting, we voted to NOT vote again on disbanding our group. Why? Because there is a LOT of momentum right now to keep it going. Plus, we love getting together and helping others.

I made a flyer and mini-flyer too. Here is a copy of the mini-flyer:

We will be putting these around town and hopefully getting more members soon. We have some Officer Positions open too. If you want to work on Program, the Newsletter, (John Walker was the Editor for our Sept. Newsletter), be Sgt. at Arms, VP of Protocol, Secretary, help with Membership, be an Officer at Large (#2), or help with any job, just let an Officer know. Or comment below, or send an email to me at lizann 447 at yahoo.com. (no spaces).

Our election is IN NOVEMBER.

Jerry G. and Paula hope to go to Las Vegas for the APCUG Conference next month, October 21023. If you also would like to attend this, go here to check it out: http://apcug2.org/apcug-2016-conference/
 There may be special values and deals for people in the club who want to attend. Let Jerry Gillette know if you would like to go. He may share with you about the Heart Attack Grill and the Bellagio.

The Board meeting for the BGAMUG Computer club is next Tuesday, October 4th at 6:30 at Jerry's Restaurant, which is near the Corvette Museum.  All BGAMUG members are invited to attend. If you wish to have something to eat, come at 6:00.

First Meeting and Phone Calls Coming Soon! An update on our Save BGAMUG Journey...

Hi, all! Just checking in again.

I just wanted to bring you up to date on the "Save Our BGAMUG Computer Club" journey.

It's been about two weeks since I found out some of our members wanted to close down the BGAMUG Computer Club - - and since I volunteered to help call people to help by volunteering to be an Officer for next year.

Reasons for shutting the club down (disbanding) included these:

Officers are tired of being officers and sometimes doing more than one job at one time,
Not as many Members are coming to meetings, and
Not as many Members as some Officers would like.

I am not sure about what other reasons there could be.

I volunteered to help - - so am writing this blog today again. I WAS helping with the website and blogging here in the past, so am doing it again.

If you are interested in being on this Save Our Club committee (also known as the Nomination Committee) just let me know by calling me or emailing me at lizann447 at yahoo.com.

And remind me if I do NOT get back with you the same day or the next day. Because I get a LOT of emails right now. I tend to sign up for everything that interests me, and I get some other kinds of emails too.

Well, that's about it. I will find a photo or two to share here next. I think it's the right thing to do to try to save this fun club.

I have not been active in the club always, but it's nice to know this fun group is here. It's a worthy group, and worth supporting. They have done many great things in the community too. I loved the fun get-togethers and events best. They were fun!

- Betsy S.

PS: this is me. It's a kind of older photo, but still...
