BGAMUG Officers meeting is tomorrow - a reminder.

Hi all!

Just a reminder, the BGAMUG Officers Meeting is tomorrow. Guests from the club are welcome. The meeting is at the Catfish House. If you want dinner, come at 5:30, otherwise the meeting starts at 6:30 for everyone else.

Jerry sent the officers and others the paperwork, so if you plan to attend, get with him for a copy of that if you already don't have one.

I hope you had a great Labor Day Weekend. See you there!

Betsy

Do YOU want to be an officer?

Are you interested?

We will find out soon which posts are open. Do YOU want to be an officer for the BGAMUG Computer club?

What is being an officer like? Well, you get to share ideas, help make decisions, and get ready for meetings. You can help with events, or write newsletter articles. You can listen to other members and make suggestions for them.

There are a lot of different things you can pick from. It's fun, you get to hang out with pretty neat people, and you are doing a good deed, helping people and making their lives better.

Find out more at the next BGAMUG meeting which is on Tuesday, August 23rd at 6:30 p.m. at the Bowling Green Technical College. Find a map here (scroll down). Visitors are welcome!

The BGAMUG Computer Club meeting yesterday went great!

About Last Night's Meeting of the BGAMUG Computer Club

 Jerry G. shared lots of tips last night about lots of subjects at our June 2011 meeting. I took a lot of notes too.

Jerry shared about how to print out items larger than regular size, free education on the internet, other selling sites besides Ebay, how to put pictures on a computer, what to do when your computer freezes, scanning documents with an OCR program, resizing photos, free education sites, how to save money using online sites, how to streamline your startup information for Windows, and a few SEO tips.

Members shared their liking for Expedia, Priceline, Southwest.com, Travelocity, SoKyShop, the Bowling Green Craiglist site (because you can actually meet a seller) and Hotel.com. Jerry suggests playing with these to see what happens.

Other good advice: use your security programs!

Here are some free education site links from last night's presentation:

I have learned a lot by being in the BGAMUG Computer Club. I have also made some great friends there. The BGAMUG club is open to computer users of all ages.

BGAMUG also helps needy people obtain computers and help with other computer-related service projects.
