Please join us at the Board meeting THIS week, and the monthly meeting
NEXT week.

New PowerPoint SIG starting on Saturday,
January 12th 1-3pm
Member Peter Summers is going to start a SIG devoted
exclusively to this Microsoft Office application. Here's his
description of what it will be about:
"This SIG explores the many uses of PowerPoint, a
software component of MicroSoft Office. It has uses in both personal and
business settings that will be explored. You can use it to make a photo
album comple te with animation and sound, and then put it on a disk that
can be used anywhere whether or not the software is loaded on that
particular computer (great for gifts or just sharing family events). In
your business life you can use the program to create presentations
consisting of slides, graphics and animation that will make any meeting
more effective and enjoyable (and impress the boss). It will also produce
outlines and handouts that support the presentation. The SIG is meant to
introduce you to the software if you are a new user, and increase your
skill if you are already familiar with it."
Looking for Christmas/seasonal messages
Jim Boynton asked the audience at last week's monthly
meeting to send us examples of your favorite digital messages so that we
can show them off at the December meeting on December 11th. Here's a
very cool example:

Club Secretary.
