Please note that our General Meeting was held on Friday, January 4th at 7 PM due to the New Years Day Holiday. The meeting featured our new "ACUG Computer Classroom", a great time to discuss any computer related problems you may have with your fellow members. Everyone has either a question or a tip to share and it is a great way to make new friends and help out your fellow club members at the same time.

Also, the club celebrated our 14th Annual Election Night, the 14th Annual Installation of Officers, and the 10th Annual Volunteer Appreciation Ceremony.

Members brought their appetites! January Goodies are an ACUG tradition. At the meeting, members should bring their favorite desserts and a great imagination to share with their fellow computer users.

There were prizes awarded for the best computer-themed desserts! (The dessert must have a computer theme to be entered into the contest. The winners will be chosen by the entire group).

Winners were: Frank Blauvelt, First Place certificate, decorative jar and candy. Richard Kennon, Second Place certificate, decorative jar and candy. Sherre Tassos, Third Place certificate, decorative jar and candy.

Everyone took the time to visit, meet new members, and make new friends. The club provides soft drinks and coffee, paper plates, napkins, utensils and cups. It will be a relaxing and fun evening!

14th Annual Elections:
We held elections for office at the January meeting. Members will choose who they would like to represent them on the ACUG Board of Directors. This is your last chance to nominate or write in someone you think will be an asset to the Board this year. However, if you would like to help in some capacity, you can volunteer your services to the club anytime!

Ballots will be handed out to ACUG members. One ballot is voted per family membership of those present. Thank you all for participating and making the Amador Computer Users Group the great and award-winning club that it is!

14th Annual Installation of Officers:
The winning candidates were installed as your new officers of the club. Photographs will be taken of the new officers, chairs, committee members and the group in general for the Newsletter, the Webpage and the local newspapers at the end of the meeting. Please see the Board pages for the new list of Officers after the election.

The Amador Computer Users Group is very pleased to announce our 10th Annual Volunteer Appreciation Ceremony to thank the individual volunteer members who work long and hard hours to make sure that the club runs smoothly and efficiently. We would like to thank our volunteers for doing a great job. We also would like to thank local businesses who have contributed significantly to the club. Hat's off to you! Club members, thanks in advance for coming out and lending your support by applauding our dedicated and caring volunteers! This is your chance to show that you really appreciate their efforts! Thank you everyone!
 
"On behalf of the entire Amador Computer Users Group, I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year!"

-- Barbara Kreiss, ACUG Webmaster.
