The BGAMUG Picnic was really nice.
The food was great as usual. I have to give a shout out to the Peach dessert, also the Chess Pie, and the BBQ sauce was good too. Something with a crunchy crust (potatoes?) were really good too. Everything was good. There was plenty of room to sit.
We met at Covington Woods Park. The golfers were out in force. We barely got a parking space, but we were lucky and got one.
Jerry told us one of our original people the club donated a computer to has passed away. Everyone except some people who had to leave early played some Bingo after the meal.
People brought electric fans and that helped a lot, because it was HOT on Saturday.
Anyone have some photos? I'd love to see them. I got to talk with a few people, that was fun too.

BGAMUG Votes to Meet at Home Instead Senior Care Training
Past
President Jerry Gillette put it this way, "Never before in the history
of BGAMUG has the membership been able to vote on a meeting location."
With two potential meeting places, the club met in April at the Hillvue Heights Church and in May at Home Instead Training Center.
The majority of the members have voted to hold meetings at Home
Instead. From Campbell lane turn on Gary Farms Rd toward the Greenwood
Mall. Go past the bank and in the first building on the left is Home
Instead's training facility. If you go as far David's bridal go have
gone too far.
Please join us at the next meeting on June 24th at 6:30 PM.

Tuesday night's program is by Jeri Steele on Making Windows 8 behave (like Windows 7). As more and more people buy new computers they will be getting them with Windows 8. The new Operating System is already on version 8.1 and is in my experience been very stable. But the interface was designed more for touch screen so it's no obvious what to do to get other programs installed, etc. Come see one way to survive at Windows 8.
