Our Board Meeting went great!

We had a really nice Board meeting. We got to see a neat automated clock, plus a new-style combination paper holder and clipboard that Jerry brought to the meeting.

Some of the officers had dinner and chatted until the meeting started.

One member had to leave a little early to see the premiere of LOST, her favorite TV show. (OK, it was Betsy...)

We talked about how excited some of us are about the upcoming meeting's presentation by new member Jeri Steele. She will talk about Using the Internet Effectively for Genealogy Research.

Jerry talked about a game he is getting ready, based on Wheel of Fortune. He was very excited about it.

OUR NEXT MEETING: Our next meeting is on Tuesday, February 23rd.

A Newbie's Guide to Facebook from Cnet News

I like this Newbie guide I found today.

Here is the link:
The Newbie's Guide to Facebook

It goes through the steps for joining Facebook and explains how to adjust your privacy settings too. This article also tells you how to add friends, your photo, and more.

It's a winner of an article.

If you are in the BGAMUG Computer Club, they have a Facebook page now. Here is how you can go there:
(just click the link: Go to the BGAMUG Facebook Page). After filling in your information, (or logging in) you can add the BGAMUG page by clicking on the "Become a Fan" button at the top.

There you have it! You can now access all the postings, AND you can post your own Wall Postings under the Fans section. There are 14 members there so far. If you add yourself, you can make it 15!

Let me know how it goes.

The meeting went great

The meeting went great with Greg Ericksen at the International Center today. We talked about donating computers to the group and even possibly making a nice computer lab for the refugees there.

I didn't take pictures, but will upload some here soon. For now I will put a generic picture on the posting. Something nice.

We took a look around and saw the tentative choices for the computer room(s) and storage room(s).

Up next: a visit to Abel Court to see how they are set up. I will keep you posted about this.

Where did this photo come from? I downloaded it from Morguefile.com. You can use any of these pictures you want there without worrying about copyright. They have a Creative Commons license that says
