MUG TIPS & TRICKS: ORGANIZE YOUR MEETING MATERIALS...ON WHEELS
Most user groups meet in rented or borrowed space. While computers,
projectors and monitors usually need to be transported in dedicated
cases, there are a wide variety of supplies and items that you need (or
may need) at every meeting. Pens, paper, scissors, tape, newsletters,
membership flyers, extension cords, power strips, ethernet cables, t-
shirts, raffle tickets, name badges and much more must make the trek from
someone's garage or home to your meeting place each month. Why not get
organized and make it easy?
Get a large piece of luggage with a handle and wheels, and fill it with
those items that are regularly needed at your meeting. It makes
organization and storage at someone's home much easier, segregates group-
owned materials, assures that all the needed supplies get to the meeting
and the wheels and handle are essential for reducing lifting injury risks
and improving ease of transport.
Have a cool tip on what your MUG does to make things easier? Email us and
we'll add it to The MUG Center with full credit given to your MUG.
