News from the GVSUG Executive Committee
First, we have begun planning the next GVSUG meeting. We hope to hold it sometime in March, 2005. We will let you know when we have picked the exact date. We will be sending out a call for papers soon — but don’t wait, if you would like to speak, please contact Paige or any member of the GVSUG Executive Committee. Did you know that speakers get $10 off from their yearly membership fee? Did you know that if we’re feeling nice, we give gifts to speakers?
We also are looking for a suitable facility to host the next meeting. We need a room that can hold 40 – 60 people and has a computer projection device. Availability of free parking is also a plus. If you have such a room at your location, please let us know.
We would like to hear from you, the members, on what you would like to see at such a meeting. Do you want a meeting devoted to a specific theme (and if so, what theme)? Or would you want a variety of topics at a meeting? The feedback from the last meeting indicated that most people enjoyed the interactive portions of the meeting, so we will be planning more of those. And finally, we have been scheduling meetings from 3:30 – 6:30pm. Is that a good time for you, or would you like to have the meetings at some other time. Let us know!
