President’s Message

By Tom Burt

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

From myself and the Club's Board of Directors, to all of our members, may you have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.  Our Club was founded in 1991, so 2009 will be its 19th year.  I look forward to working with our great volunteer team to continue to make the Computer Club a success and a valuable resource for all of our members and the Sun City Community.

 

General Meetings

Because the January General Meeting date falls on January 1, 2009 and we were unable to secure the ballroom on January 8, the Board decided to CANCEL the January 1 general meeting.

 

Notice of 2009 Bylaws Approval and 2009 Budget Approval Election

At the February 5th, 2009 general business meeting, the Computer Club members will vote to approve an update to the club's Bylaws.  A draft of the Bylaws document is now posted on this website for review and comment by members.  To view the draft bylaws, click HERE.  At the same meeting, club members will also vote to approve the club's 2009 budget and spending plan.  Tom Burt will also do a "State of the Club" presentation.

 

Membership

As of December 26, our 2008 SCSCC paid memberships total 1369.  For 2009, so far we have 773 new or renewed members.

 

"Early Bird" new and renewal dues season are still in effect until December 31.  See the Membership page for full details.

 

Education Activities for January

As usual, we have a great line-up of classes, seminars and SIGs for December .  See the January calendar as well as the Seminars, Classes, "SIGs" and "KKs” pages for full details.  Our education program is one of the great benefits of belonging to the Club.  No matter what your experience or skill level, you should find something to suit your needs.

 

"About SCSCC" Page

I am frequently asked "Where is the Who's Who page", or "Where is the Helping Hands page?".  We didn't hide it or remove it.  As we moved to the newer format for the Gigabyte, I created a separate "About SCSCC" page with links to all of the club information that doesn't change very often.  The link is at the top of the navigation panel to the left in every issue.  You can also find it at the top left of the home page.
