November 12th MUGS Meeting:


SIGs began at 9:00 am
SIGS (Special Interest Groups) provide an opprotunity for informal, small-group discussions on a variety of topics of interest to Mac users.  Members were able to ask questions and find others with similar interests. 



Formal meeting began at 10:00 am
.

Agenda:

1.  Brief reports and club business

2.  Nominations for the next executive... Mal Juravsky

As you may know, the term for the MUGS executive ends in December, with the new executive beginning in January. We hold elections at the December meeting. Mal Juravsky, our past-president is charged with identifying candidates for the positions up for election. You can help.

Many of you have voiced your opinion on the topics presented to you at our meetings. Generally, your comments have been positive and we are pleased to be meeting your needs. Some, however, feel that their interests are not being addressed or not being covered in enough depth. There is an answer - get involved in the selection of presentation subjects and presenters. Join the MUGS executive!

By doing so, you will be able to influence the direction of the club and the development of the program. The time requirements are not onerous (a few hours a month) and the discussions are very educational. You will find it interesting and rewarding.

I ask you to consider putting your name forward for one of the positions. They are Vice-President (who is president-elect for the next year), Secretary, Treasurer and Program Director. Talk to one of the executive at the next meeting to learn about the duties of the positions which interest you or contact Mal Juravsky at <remj@shaw.ca> if you are interested in standing for one of the positions.

Elections will be held at the next meeting on Dec. 11th.
