Apple User Group Bulletin
|
| _____________________________________________________________________ Apple User Group Bulletin - March 15, 2007 _____________________________________________________________________ COMMUNITY NEWS - MEMBERS _____________________________________________________________________ 1] - NCMUG Creates a $10,000 Endowment at Santa Rosa Junior College ....................... Over the years North Coast Mac Users Group (NCMUG), a non-profit user group, has reached out to the community in many very significant ways including computer donations to schools and charities and significant volunteer work. Now, they have taken it a big step further with a $10,000 endowment, providing scholarships for students from Santa Rosa Junior College who are in the CIS Department, taking classes with an emphasis on the Mac platform and pursuing a career in the computer information field. The endowment is a memorial for Roger Levit, one of the founders of NCMUG. With the approval of Roger's family the scholarship has been named the North Coast Mac Users Group Roger Levit Memorial Scholarship. What a wonderful way to honor youth, education and experience! http://www.ncmug.org/ (Congratulations to President Lorene Romero, Ronnie Roche, Linda Chatham, Joan O'Brien, Eric Chazankin, Wayne Till and the amazing members of NCMUG.) _____________________________________________________________________ 2] - Beijing Macintosh User Group: 5 Years Old and Growing ....................... When David Feng's group started BeiMac the group had seven members from seven countries, all meeting in Zhongguancun, Beijing, and each interested in building a user group community. Who could have predicted that five short years later those seven would become a club with more than 330 members, more than 200,000 web visitors and a widened scope as part of the BeiMac Union, with liaison offices in Ziamen, Taipei and North America. Happy Birthday BeiMac. Join them for a March 24 birthday celebration. http://www.beimac.com/?page_id=8 _____________________________________________________________________ 3] - EmiratesMac: Special TV Event ....................... EmiratesMac will be holding a Special TV Event featuring a demonstration of Apple TV and presentations by sponsors that include Canon, IMC ME, Dubai Knowledge Village, GraphEast and others on March 29 at Dubai Knowledge Village's main auditorium. Visit Ambassador Magnus Nystedt and the members of EmiratesMac. http://www.emiratesmac.com/index.php?page=events _____________________________________________________________________ 4] - AUMUG: Second Apple Digital Campus Leadership Institute ....................... From March 21-23 Auburn University's User Group will be participating in the second Apple Digital Campus Leadership Institute. As the organizers warn, this is not a listen and watch event but a way for groups to gain specific ideas for their campus sites. They'll generate ways to use innovation and technology to enhance the learning experience. There will be a world of great ideas on the Milledgeville Campus of Georgia College and State University for students and faculty participating in this year's Leadership Institute. Share the excitement. http://blog.auburn.edu/macusers/wordpress/?p=43 _____________________________________________________________________ 5] - dBUG: Help Every Saturday ....................... Since 1984 the Seattle dBUG group has offered interesting resources to their members. One interesting way to enhance community and gain members is their dBUG Cafe, held every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon. Whether it is help with a tech problem, use of the group's scanner or high-speed connection, information about upcoming membership activities or just a warm cup of coffee and a doughnut with friends, Saturdays are special in Seattle. Does your group have an interesting activity or way to enhance membership? Email your ideas to ugbeditor@mac.com. Share a cup of coffee in Seattle. http://www.dbug.org/ (Thanks to the dBUG publicity team who sends information each month.) _____________________________________________________________________ 6] - Estonian Macintosh User Group: Six Hour Quarterly Seminar .......................
