Dear User Group Leaders,
Do you know your Regional Liaison?

throughout the world to support Apple User Groups at a local level. We
encourage you to get to know your Regional Liaisons. They can be a big
help when needed the most.

delay.

1] - Picnics Everywhere
.......................
Picnics are a very popular idea for July Apple user group meetings. Of
course, Apple user groups have picnics with a twist. Not only are Denver
Pi, SMug and iSMUG having outdoor fun, but Atlantic City MUG's picnic is
wireless. Maryland Apple Corps offers a prize for the best Apple pie.
Not to be outdone, the Linux groups in Boston are holding their tenth
annual cross-platform BBQ.
Enjoy the summer with these groups.
