November Election Meeting, more

ELECTIONS - - ELECTIONS

Elections are being held next meeting, as well as a presentation on the program Streets and Trips by Jerry Gillette. He is always fun to hear!

Our next meeting is on Tuesday, November 22nd at 6:30. The Genealogy SIG meeting is before the regular meeting, at 5:30.

During the October meeting, we got to hear about Jerry and Paula's  trip and see some great photos last meeting too, including one of her sister.

Send me ideas for the blog and for the Facebook page when you think of it. I appreciate that!

Also, Paula wants ideas for people to get awards at the Christmas Party.

Facebook settings - some links to help.

 Facebook News: As you probably have heard, Facebook is getting ready to unroll many new changes.

There is a way to get ahead of the game and have your settings in order too. I found another great site today to help with this. It is another link for adjusting Facebook settings.

Here is that link:

The 10 Facebook Privacy Settings You Need to Know.

It goes well with these other sites that are also good:

The LifeHacker Article: How to Quit Facebook with actually quitting Facebook


And here is the newest: What's Coming Up on Facebook - a YouTube video by Kay Hebbourne.

I will list other links as I find them.


Later!

BGAMUG Newsletters - fun and educational, easy to download too.

Have you tried reading an issue of BGAMUG News?

The newsletters have fun articles in them, plus some great computer tips too.

Clipart from the MS Clipart pages.

The older BGAMUG Newsletters have good information in them, and BGAMUG has a Newsletter Archive page where people can download the newsletters, print them out, read them online, or use the PDF in an E-book reader.

Anyone can download them with no problems.

If they will not open on your computer, simply go to the free download page at the Microsoft site here:  http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Here is the Archives link with many past issues of the Newsletter on it:

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!
