Dear User Group Leaders,
The summer expo season isn't that far away. Mac enthusiasts have the
Worldwide Developers Conference, Macworld Conference & Expo and the
MacDesign Conference to look forward to in the coming months.
Will you or members of your user group be attending any or all of these
events? What kind of user group activities would you most like to see?
Let us know your thoughts at email@hidden.
Thanks!
