Apple User Group Bulletin - November 16, 2004
......................................................................
Dear User Group Leaders,
A big user group congratulations to Sandy Foderick who has been chosen
by her fellow board members as the new chairperson for the User Group
Advisory Board (UGAB). Sandy is a wonderful volunteer and a dedicated
advocate for user groups. I've worked with her personally for quite a
while now and am thrilled to continue working with her as the new
UGAB chair.
But that's not all.
A big user group welcome to Jim Foster who has agreed to volunteer as
the new Regional Liaison for Canada. Jim is president, BBS
administrator and meeting coordinator for Macintosh Users East
(MaUsE), a community Mac users group serving the Durham, Ontario,
region of Canada. Jim has used Macs since 1985.
Also, big user group thanks to online user group Liaison, Maria
Arguello. Maria has agreed to be the liaison for the Northeast United
States as well as online groups.
Enjoy!
Jeff Mosqueda
