Today was a kind of gloomy day outside but inside we had quite a bit going on. Mark was missing due to a nice adventure on "The City of New Orleans" train trip. There was a great turnout for the meeting though.

Glen came and worked on several peoples computers with the Linux System. Kelly was trying to have a movie play on his Linus system. Diana had him check out her Ubuntu Linux and Eric had his Linux system checked.

During the Business portion of the meeting there was a drawing for three 4gig flash drives.  They were won by Ruby, Diana, and Gary.  The officers that were nominated last month were voted in this month for another Term.

Buzz, buzz, buzz....

Our slate of candidates.
Today we had a nice time at the Computer Club.  It was gloomy outside but inside it was very pleasant. At the Business meeting today (being this is April's meeting), we had our yearly nominations. Ray nominated the current officers and Jane seconded the motion. We will have the elections in May.

On Sunday, June 3rd , the Strawberry Fest will take place.  We are going to have a table there and Mark will be making flyers for us to hand out.

There was a (membership) drawing for two 4 gig Flash drives.  They were won by Kelly and Don. (No one checked to see if all the slips had ONLY either Don's or Kelly's name on them - Mark.)

The FBI may be interested in this group...
We are making changes to the Demo Policy in trying to make the club better. The changes on the Demo Policy was given by Don. The Club's main purpose is to help others if they have issues.  Along with this purpose is making members aware of new computer related Software and Hardware in the form of a "demo" every other month. By changing the location of the demos to the room off the main meeting area we don't have to worry about interruptions, and the member giving the demo will have the opportunity to make it more personalized. Smaller groups will also have less distractions.

Mark showed a couple of potential members the difference between Linux and Windows. (No Windows disks were burned in the process - Mark.) There were several other small groups going over a lot of different things.
