Spark of Life Community Service

Jerry, your Spark of Life CS project at your December meeting sounds great. Good for the Long Beach group to take this on.

Spark of Love

With club activities, vacation, work, and holiday feasting I have neglected to post here. Hopefully I will make a few posts before we get into the thick of things which I am told starts some time after January. Right now I am working on a toy drive my club is having for our December meeting. We are collecting toys for our local fire department which they will use in their “Spark of Love” program. Once the meeting is over I will post the results.

We enjoyed it

At the SW conference Doormouse and I had the opportunity to perform for members and vendors alike. This week one of the vendors, Dave Whittle, returned the favor when he presented at our User Group. Our group so enjoyed his presentation that when his allotted time was up they insisted he continue until his presentation was completed.

Yesterday was

Yesterday was a very busy day the biggest part of the day was to be spent with doorman at the SCRUGS meeting but as it turned out Doorman was ill and could not attend. I contacted Betty Colston, president of the Long Beach User Group and we decided we would carpool to the meeting. Upon our 9:45 AM arrival Harry presented me with an excerpt from “The Americans with Disabilities Act”. This is to help keep all of our groups in compliance. After introductions we discussed last years SWUG conference. Everyone like the new venue and only had positive responses. With some of the planning starting for next year it was discovered we are going to have larger work shop participation so registration will be moved down stairs right off the main lobby. Al Hill is upgrading and adding new equipment to further enhance next years SWUG conference. After the main meeting needed I gave Judy Taylour the first rough draft of the CD ROM for next year. I hope to add animation and sounds, but we will have to wait and see.
