WoodwardMUG Meeting Information


Our meetings take place in the Woodward School Katherine Bacon Library. We usually meet twice a month during lunch and our midday "study" period, 11:20-12:10. You are welcome to bring your lunch, or watch for eNews announcements concerning our famous "Lunch Buffet", our code name for ordering lunch from local restaurants. Get your lunch reservation in the day before to be sure you are included, as our "Lunch Meetings" are quite complicated to run, and we could use a break.


Activities

The 2009-2010 year of the WoodwardMUG Computer Club at The Woodward School is just getting started. Lots of exciting happenings are being planned with both in-person and iChat AV video conferencing guest speakers. Fundraisers will include our annual barbecue party, our snack vending machine sales in the cafe, and our new ice cream novelties and fresh juices served at lunch. 100% of profits go towards the purchase of new computers for the lab. Members may sign up to help with daily lunch time sales immediately. For the best choice of days or weeks, send an email to woodwardmug@mac.com


During 08-09 our fundraising efforts allowed us to purchase an iMac for the lab and a MacBook for our mobile podcasting studio. For 09-10 our goal is three new iMacs for the lab, allowing us to move more computers out to the library.


The WoodwardMUG Podcast Team is going strong with eight episodes last year. If you are interested in participating this year, please stop by the lab and sign up for this usergroup SIG (Special Interest Group).


Other SIGs this year are the Lab Assistants SIG and the Fundraising/Snack Sales SIG.
