BGAMUG blog for April 2 2017. Much is happening. An update.

Hi, fellow BGAMUG Computer Club members.

I am hoping to set a new blog up via Google so I send a copy to our new Google Apps blog soon.

Be looking for an email from John Walker soon about that, this month or next probably.

Some BGAMUG Meeting Notes

These are very condensed! :-)

We had a GREAT meeting... with 4 guests from the local AARP group. I promised to come visit them soon.

We learned more about Computer Security from my favorite APCUG online video presenter, Judy Taylour, President of the SCV Computer club.

Sharon agreed to take Meeting Notes as Secretary (thanks so much, Sharon!) and we had pizza.

Next meeting we will have Finger Food snacks - and bring a friend again, won't you?

The meeting is at 6, and if you want to eat before the meeting, come at 5:30, please.

The club will furnish drinks, plates, and napkins. (Different kinds of soda and water...)

We also will have ice.

See you then!

PS Our next E-Board meeting is Tuesday, April 4th at 6:00. Come at 5:30 if you want to join us for early dinner. We will meet at Steamer Seafood. Every interested Member is invited to come.

Just saying hi!

Hi - - from your President.

Are you on the new website yet? Our VP of Technology, John Walker, is getting that all set up for all the Officers, and soon for all the Members.

John is here: john.walker@bgamug.org and here:
john@johnawalker.us.

I plan to email him again, to make sure I go to check this out.

The website is here: http://www.bgamug.org. He has some new things on here. Later, there will be another Calendar, a Members Only section, a blog, and more.

We had an EBoard meeting recently at Steamer Seafood, and discussed some interesting ideas. Our next regular BGAMUG meeting is: Tuesday, Feb. 28th, at Hillview Heights, 6:00 p.m., Room 300. Be there!!

I MAY be doing the BGAMUG blog on the website later. Stay tuned for news about that. There also will be another blog on the website too.

Bring some finger food to the meeting too. This should be fun.

ALSO: If you want an ad in the BGAMUG Newsletter, it is HALF OFF for now. The due date is tomorrow for copy for those or anything you would like in the Newsletter.  Send stories and input to Sharon at

We have PIZZA and pop furnished.

See you there!

GREAT E-Board meeting, have news to share, PIZZA meeting coming up.

Hi, all!

I hope you had a GREAT New Year and Holiday. 

 







I hope to post regularly here (some weeks more regularly than others!) about learning how to be a President and run meetings in proper fashion, news, ideas, and more.

Last night the EBoard, plus 3 other Members from the club, met and had dinner at Steamer Seafood. I hope they liked their meal! I had Fish Tacos. I have only been there for lunch a couple of times with Rickey, and he had a noodle dish he really liked.

Anyway, Jerry Gillette and Paula were there, as well as Karen Wickliff. (Members...) Officers there were me (Betsy), Jeri, John, and Aiko. C.G. is working as an Officer from home.

Much was discussed. I have the long version of notes to type up, and an EBoard Meeting Report too.

++++++++++++++++++++

Google Apps! I got an email today (again) that our VP of Technology and Webmaster, John, sent out. I will hopefully be able to sign up for this soon, using his instructions. Included at this link will be new Google Apps.

All members will be able to access these FREE apps soon. Look for your password in your email. It is another benefit to being a Member of the BGAMUG Computer Club. John will be able to explain more about it at our next meeting.

++++++++++++++++++++

Learning at the E-Board Meeting

I learned how to keep saying "Do I hear a motion to...?" as President at our E-Board Meeting yesterday. I will be able to use this new skill at meetings too. It is a Learning Curve for me. Jeri Steele is doing a great job with advice and help I will keep doing my best, and writing notes too.

 ++++++++++++++++++++

 Our NEW Website update and more
Check out our NEW website here: http://www.bgamug.org/ 
John Walker is updating the site and will have more there this week - including this blog.
He also has articles at the Latest Update link at the right side, at the website.

Our Next Meeting

OUR NEXT BGAMUG MEETING is Tuesday, January 24th at 6:30 at Hillview Heights. It is another "Eatin' Meetin'."

You can bring your own drink - OR have a club-provided drink that will be there too, along with plenty of Pizza. Bring an appetite! 

YES, THERE WILL BE PIZZA!

The Program will be Favorite Windows OS Utilities, a neat Learning Video from interesting online speaker, Judy Taylour.

SEE YOU THERE! And bring a friend! Have an idea or even a complaint (we'll try VERY hard to fix whatever it is...) ? That's OK. Let Aiko Gunderson know and she will share with us. She's our Member at Large.

Stay tuned for even more news and Club developments.

More later!

Updates - Dec. 2016 Newsletter coming out soon, NO MEETING in Dec., more.

Hi, all! Here is a very brief synopsis of What's Happening in BGAMUG right now.

The Christmas Party went really well, missed those of you who could not make it.

We switched over Officer Information on Tuesday.

Sharon is getting information together to put out or Newsletter this month. Thanks, Sharon!

We do NOT have a meeting in December.  A heads up.

So have a WONDERFUL Christmas and Holiday, Yule/Winter Solstice, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, a Happy New Year, and whatever other holiday you celebrate this season.

The temperature is dropping this week, and it is beginning to seem more like Winter to me. I like the change in seasons though, so this will be nice. Will we have a White Christmas? I don't know.

Be looking for my President's Message and other articles in the Newsletter this month for some great plans for the new year, and what you can do to help too! Don't worry, they are pretty easy things.

Here is hoping for a GREAT 2017 also.

Also - don't forget - MARK YOUR CALENDAR: our January Meeting is 6:00 p.m. at Hillview Heights Room 300 (our regular meeting room) on Tuesday, January 24th.  

Bring a drink to go with the PIZZA. Be there or be square!

BGAMUG-ly Yours,

GREAT meeting. Voting went well, Sharon now an Officer, more.

The meeting went great yesterday. It was interesting. 

We learned about Google Photos and heard from GeeksOnTour.com about using it. Geeks On Tour help people learn new things and teach technology.

We missed all who could not make it. But understand there will sometimes be conflicts during this busy time of year.

The election went well - - and we will be looking for new officers next year, plus Assistants, along with new members.
