COMPUTER CLUB
WEEKLY BULLETIN
November 25, 2008
Greetings Computer Club Members:
I apologize for skipping a Bulletin last week, due to some Computer and Printer issues I have been experiencing, which took up way too much of my time, at what was a busy week anyway and we were visiting family over the weekend.
I will be out of town from November 30 to December 7, 2008, and will not be publishing and sending a Bulletin until after I return. Please keep the dates I will be posting and remember to check the Club Website at www.cscclub.org.
Ed O’Donnell does a wonderful job of posting the important dates you will need to check for.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
EVERYONE
