The Week's Front Page News At The MUG Center
=================================
CASADY & GREENE CEO TALKS ABOUT USER GROUPS ON THE MUG CENTER
Casady & Greene is well known as a long-time, enthusiastic supporter of
user groups on all platforms. Now, The MUG Center's newest resource, The
Vendor's Voice, opens with a page dedicated to the Casady and Greene User
Group Program. Even better, we are both honored and proud to have the
section launch with thoughts on the importance of user group relations by
Casady & Greene's CEO, Charles R. Fulweiler, Ph.D.
The Vendor's Voice will feature regular updates by some of the Macintosh
Industry's leading supporters of MUGs. These companies have demonstrated
themselves to be aggressive, appreciative, consistent supporters of
Macintosh User Groups, their members and their events. You will be able
to find out more about what these companies are doing in the user group
community: appearances, programs and opportunities and more for increased
interaction that will benefit everyone. Watch for more vendors to come
online soon.
USER GROUP SECTION OF THE APPLE WEB SITE UPDATED
The User Group section of the Apple web site has received a major
overhaul and is now live. Easier to navigate and with much more
information, the new design features the familiar Locator to find a
Macintosh User Group near you, an updated Questions and Answers page, a
brand new section for campus Macintosh User Groups, and a clear focus on
getting tools and information into the hands of MUG leaders.
NEW REGIONAL USER GROUP LEADERS CONFERENCE ON THE USER GROUP REPORT
A new regional user group leadership conference takes center stage in the
new edition of the User Group Report. The Southeast Regional Conference
will be held on September 13 - 15 in Atlanta and will feature a
substantial presence by MUG leaders. Rose Lynn of Gold Coast Mac tells us
about what kind of seminars and events are featured, and why any user
group leader of any platform would benefit by attending. Michael Rogers
of the Atlanta PC Users Group talks about why his group decided to host a
regional conference, why they are including all platforms, and some very
interesting observations about Macintosh User Groups from a PC user group
leader's point of view.

Hosted by Chuck Joiner, the User Group Report is the series of audio
interviews with people making news in the user group community.
