THE MUG EVENT CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 29: BOB LEVITUS, PAUL
KENT OF IDG, PI GARAGE SALE AND THE START OF MUG HOLIDAY PARTIES
The start of the holiday season will be celebrated by user groups in many
different ways. Those celebrations begin this week with visits from "Dr.
Mac," Macworld Expo's Conference Chair, Paul Kent, a regional garage
sale, and more.
"DR. MAC" BOB LEVITUS WILL MAKE MUG APPEARANCE IN CHICAGO
Chicago's The Rest of Us will enjoy what has become something of an
annual tradition at their December meeting: A visit by "Dr. Mac," Bob
LeVitus. Bob and his "All Garage Band" will be composing an original song
in an hour using only his talent and Apple's GarageBand. You can join in
the fun on December 1 at the North Michigan Avenue Apple Store for the
meeting, and later for a pizza party, Chicago-style.

REGIONAL LIAISON DISPATCH: AMERICAN NORTHWEST UPDATE FOR NOVEMBER
Past and future events in the northwest United States are the focus of
the latest Dispatch from Apple Regional Liaison Chris Kiltz. Chris'
report focuses on an update on the fall MacCamp, an upcoming 20th
anniversary celebration from one of her region's MUGs, and info on the
user group events at Macworld Conference & Expo.

USER GROUP SURVEY: NEWSLETTER QUESTION & PROMOTIONAL ITEMS ANSWERS
This week, the MUG Center Survey shifts to a question about a staple of
user group services: the user group newsletter. What is the *primary*
format of your group's newsletter? Last week's question on the items
preferred by user groups to promote their organizations yielded some
obvious results (t-shirts and polo shirts are the most popular attire),
and some surprises (caps are not as popular as pens).

THAI MACINTOSH USERS GROUP WILL EXHIBIT AT CREATIVE WORLD IN BANGKOK
The Thai Macintosh Users Group (TMuG) will be the only Apple user group,
and probably the only user group of any platform, to have a presence at
the upcoming Creative World show in Bangkok. TMuG embers are volunteering
to staff a table on all three days of the event, and plan to include
demonstrations of GarageBand with the help of two professional musicians.

The Apple User Group Advisory Board and Macworld Planning Committee have
announced a Monday evening kick-off reception for user group leaders. The
event is billed as featuring "round table presentations by premier
vendors and user group leaders," networking opportunities, and a
