Updates! Two Facebook pages for two titles, Nov. is voting month, more.

Hello out there! 

This the one of the BGAMUG Computer Club's social media options. Now we also have TWO Facebook pages. AND the website has been updated too.

Here is the original Facebook page (join if you are not there yet): The BGAMUG Computer Club - and here is the second page: The Bowling Green Microcomputer User Group page. We voted to change our name, but it is not official yet on our paperwork. So mostly, I try to share what I see on ONE page to the other lately. They are "linked" pages. I have not figured what this can mean for each group - yet.

Off to another subject: Have you considered an Officer position for next year? NOW is the time to let me or another Officer know if you want to submit a name for consideration. We have had people already say they want to step up. ALL of the positions are open until the election. The more people we can get to do this, the better the Club can be and the more FUN events, etc. we can do.

I will still be helping, MAYBE as somebody helping with new members.

AND I will be sharing with the group my TIPS for creating a Take Action group on Facebook. I hope you will really like this Presentation.

We'll see if Jerry will also be presenting about his Alexa (?) machine.

I hope everyone is doing well! I will try much harder to post here, at least once a month or so. Yes, I know, if wishes were horses...

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!

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:

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

Where: Hillview Heights Church, Room 300
Why: To have fun!
Also: Bring a friend.

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/

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!
