1. HUG General Membership Meetings
Notes from the July 9th General Membership Meeting --
2. HUG Computer Workshops
The HUG Computer Workshop (formerly known as the DOS/Windows SIG), where
beginners' questions are answered and problem computers are analyzed for free,
is held on the THIRD SUNDAY of each month. If you are new to our group, or you
would just like a little coaching in downloading files, or using Adobe Acrobat
Reader, or if you need to have some of techno-speak decoded, then this is where
you want to be.
3. Linux SIG Meetings
The Linux SIG (HAL) is held concurrently with the HUG Computer Workshop at 2:00
in the Skyline View Church. If you are an experienced Linux user and wish to
participate in a Linux discussion session or if you are want to learn what Linux
is about then this SIG is for you. Guests are welcome.
4. HUG Executive Board Meetings Thursday, August 15th is HUG's Executive Board Meeting at Brian's Pizza in the Swatara Square Shopping Center across from the east shore Wal-Mart. The center is bordered by Route 322, Mushroom Hill Road, and Grayson Road. Board meetings are always open to the public. Here is where we handle the club's monthly business -- so there is no demonstrations nor hands on help. But if you would like the club to benefit from your input on policies and procedures or you'd like to volunteer, then this is the place to be. Meetings start at 6:00 PM and run about an hour or until the club's business is completed. Return to the Table of Contents
