This is my own opinion, and not anyone else's.
But I have wondered why people don't want to be officers in the BGAMUG club. I don't mean NOBODY wants to, but most people aren't elbowing each other out of the way to be the first person to sign up for that.
Some people HAVE wanted to run for office though, and this will make the elections more fun next month.
Maybe people think it would take up too much time. Here are other reasons I bet people don't want to be an officer.
#2. It would tie up another evening to go to officer's meetings.
#3. The job sounds uninteresting.
#4. People think they can't do the job because they don't have qualifications or enough know-how.
#5. People think that the job would be too hard.
#6. Nobody wants to hurt anyone else's feelings.
#7. They don't really know what is involved in being an officer.
Can you think of any other reasons?
Leave them as comments if you want.
Thanks,

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!
