TMUG Meeting - December 8 2008
From TMUG - The Triangle Macintosh Users Group

— Holiday Party… and a 4-way Raffle! —
It's less than 2 weeks until the December 8th TMUG meeting (and less than a month until Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, & the Winter Solstice)! The Executive Committee is planning another holiday party with all sorts of fun and merriment, including refreshments, door prizes, and a raffle. We will meet in the upstairs room with sofas at the far end of the Hope Community Church building. (This is not the room with the tiki bar where we met in April - July, nor will we meet in the "Meeting Place" near the building entrance.) We will still begin with our normal Q&A session, moderated by Bob Chandler.
We have chosen 3 different Apple products for the raffle — an iPod Touch, an AirPort Express, & an iPod Nano, plus a license for the 1Password app. The raffle will work differently from those we've held in the past. Tickets will be worth $1 each & will be sold in lots of 5 for $5 & 25 for $20. To enter the raffle (actually 4 raffles!), you will place as many tickets as you want to enter for a prize into one of 4 bags for the 4 prizes. Therefore, you can separately enter 1, 2, 3, or all 4 raffles! And remember, you don't have to be a TMUG member to enter a raffle, but we hope you will join if you're not a member.
NB There were 4 happy winners in the December holiday raffle. Murray Silverstone won the license for 1Password, Rick DeNatale won the AirPort Express, Bill Oldham won the iPod Nano, and Jim Fussell won the iPod Touch. Congratulations to the winners! And thanks to everyone who participated!
If you would like to help out with the meeting organization & preparation, contact an XCom member or post to the TMUG-list. Your participation will make the evening even more exciting!
Our iMac Give Away is getting closer to concluding! Since the announcement of the iMac Give Away at our June meeting, 56 TMUG'ers have renewed their memberships or joined. There are 247 entries logged as of 11.24.08. (Check the Win an iMac LeaderBoard page to confirm that all your entries are logged.) We will hold a drawing for a new iMac at the meeting after the 80 member goal is reached. It presently looks like this will be in January or February. We need only 24 additional renewal & new memberships to meet the goal. If your membership is due to expire in the couple of months, or has expired already, don't put it off – renew today!
The meeting will begin at 6:30 pm on December 8 at the Hope Community Church in Raleigh. And, of course, we will have the usual drawings for several door prizes for TMUG members throughout the meeting. Remember, TMUG is the undisputed leading Mac User Group in the Triangle... & beyond! See you there!
(Attendance at the December meeting was 55, including 9 new members, 4 renewals, & 5 guests.)
