5] - Main Line Mac: A Summer Picnic With a Twist
......................

For many user groups, summer is a time for outdoor fun. And when an
Apple user group has a picnic, you can look forward to more than just
burgers and lemonade. When the Main Line Macintosh User Group had their
Seventh Annual Picnic-In-the-Park they brought what every picnic needs:
an AppleTV, HDTV and a Pixar movie.

See a photo taken that day.

6] - Groups in the News: MUG ONE and the Mid-Atlantic Groups
......................

User groups have received some great press recently. Bob (Dr. Mac)
LeVitus wrote about the joys of user groups in a recent MacObserver
column (including groups in the Mid-Atlantic U.S.) and Elsa Travisano,
President of MUG ONE and Chair of the Apple User Group Advisory Board
was interviewed for a Daily Star article questioning which is better:
Macs or PCs. Guess which one she chose?

Read the Daily Star article.
