Apple User Group Bulletin - September 16, 2004
......................................................................
Hello User Group Leaders,
Please join me in a big Apple user group thank you to Chuck Joiner and
Lesa Snider. Chuck and Lesa have decided to leave the User Group
Advisory Board where they have both been top-notch volunteers.
Lesa served on the board since 2002 and has contributed in many key
areas including the user group bulletins, user group web sites and
more.
Chuck has been the Chairman of the UGAB since it was founded in
January of 2000. He is an extremely valuable advisor to me and has
put in countless volunteer hours on user group activities.
Working with Chuck and Lesa over the past couple of years has been a
privilege. I know both of them will continue to do great things in the
user group community for years to come.
Jeff Mosqueda
