Hi from Betsy - - I and another member are meeting this week or next to see who to phone - - Officers are needed.

Hi, all! I saw that a bunch of people went to this blog today!

I have not posted here for a long time. I am no longer the Webmaster or an Officer, but plan to help next year. I also just volunteered to be on the Nomination Committee for the Club.

BUT I can tell you the members who attended last week's meeting voted to try to KEEP the BGAMUG group going last week. They will have another vote in a month or two about that. C.J. and I are meeting in the next couple of weeks and coming up with a plan to get more members and officers for the club.

The current officers would like to take a break. Some have been doing "double duty" for a long time. If you are interested in serving as an Officer for a year or even for an emergency basis until we find somebody else, let us know.

You can contact me at 270-779-4152 (cell phone) or by email at lizann447@yahoo.com.

I have C.J.s contact info. at home, (I'm downtown today) and will let him know right away when people contact me.

Here is a list of the officers we need:
President
VP of Membership
VP of Technology
Secretary
Program Director
Treasurer
Webmaster
Officer at Large (2)
Sergeant-at-Arms

I will be hunting down the Job Descriptions for these soon too. :-) I think I have a copy of the Constitution and ByLaws on my other computer.

Here is a link to the Newsletter and Meeting news from June. http://www.bgamug.org/june-2016-meeting-newsletter/.

If you do not hear from us a day or two after you send a message, then please phone me.

I hope you had a GREAT 4th of July!

And look for a possible call from one or both of us soon.

BGAMUG-ly Yours,
Betsy Sheppard
BGAMUG Nomination Committee Member

Amy Bingham, "Preparing a Story"

Amy Bingham at Nov. Meeting

Our guest speaker this month was Amy Bingham the Broadcast Coordinator of WKU University. She shared with us the process she uses to prepare a story for her weekly show, View from the Hill. She also used to be an Anchor and Producer at WBKO.

All of us have stories. Taking your old photos and editing them with your favorite music or audio of a family story is something everyone can do. Microsoft has Movie Maker delivered in every installation. Amy talked about using Final Cut Pro which is professional platform and costly. Jerry Gillette gave a program before on using Movie Maker. Amy shared that they shoot lots of footage that get edited into 30-45 second sound bites. She then uses most of the material from the part cut out to weave the story between the sound bites. Bring your videos to share at a future meeting.

Next Year & Christmas Party

2015 BGAMUG will move to Hillvue Church

Next year our current meeting place will no longer be available to us. We will be moving to Hillvue Heights Church, 3219 Nashville Rd., Bowling Green.

Christmas Party December 13th 6-8 pm

Our annual Christmas Party is December 13th at Christ Episcopal Church. This is our chance to socialize with all the members of the club and their families. Bring a side dish to share. The club furnishes the Turkey and Ham, drinks and tableware. Arrive between 4-6 pm if you can help with the setup.

We will also have a gift exchange. Bring a gift of suggested value $10-$20. Do not put who the gift was from just label the gift as "Man", "Women", or "Both". You don't have to spend $, it's perfectly acceptable to re-gift something that you received in that price range.
