Apple User Group Bulletin
May 17, 2004
.....................................................................
In January of 2002 Elsa Travisano edited her first edition of the
Apple User Group Bulletin. Working tirelessly behind the scenes, she
brought a new level of energy and oversaw a substantial increase in
worldwide readership and camaraderie. After such a successful run,
Elsa is ready for new challenges within the User Group Advisory Board
(UGAB).
Please join me in welcoming Sandy Foderick as the new Apple User
Group Bulletin editor and in thanking Elsa for carrying that torch
for so long.
Enjoy!
