<html><div>Two things occur to me re this notice"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Can we (or Jim for us) post on their current site an invitation to visit our Apple SIG and/or General Meetings, an each month post to their forum a notice of our GM program.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. For a long time, I've felt it would be worthwhile for GGCS to have some kind of forum on line, similar to the old BBS . It would enable people to ask questions or make comments between meetings.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It also would be a way for SIGs with low attendance to keep their topics going and help people if they decide to shut down. If interest and traffic on such a forum increases, we could consider occasional meetings or classes around the topic.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If my quarterly Quicken SIG doesn't result in better attendance, I plan to give up the ghost after our meeting in December and keep my Email List going for those who have questions and need help. </div>
<div> Possible forums might be: General, Beginners, etc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Forums could be open to members only, to keep them as a membership benefit.</div>

<div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;">
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">We now have a drop-dead date: The NCMUG membership, nonprofit corporation, Meetup, and all member mailing lists will go away by May 20, 2018!</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">All former members and friends of NCMUG are warmly invited to opt in to the reincarnated NCMUG email discussion list, which has taken the form of a google group list called NCMUG-Alumni. </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">� This list has the blessing of the NCMUG Board, who are busy with months of tedious tasks to legally dissolve our non-profit corporation. </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">� You read that right: any and ALL FORMER MEMBERS and friends of NCMUG are welcome. </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Despite the dissolution of our corporate status: our email discussions, questions, and friendly geek answers can still continue. This list functions just as our old Sonic email list did. You must OPT IN to get on the email list-- it will not happen automatically. </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Go directly to the google group to request to join: <a class="" href="https://meet.meetup.com/wf/click?upn=pEEcc35imY7Cq0tG1vyTt-2FSTXOsfy0suXt13GGlziZyCUeSGMAYhnBT2cx-2BxoEVlA9TnPHJfSxNdWuFvrlA3xA-3D-3D_x223sdS5WKiKlF-2Bf-2BG0OekQG19hhlueav-2F4GjAaa3zkHSX6p0o6XF1-2F5ybzacM46neQxpN8rc0EOzECdob1td0ajbhEizqErEJX8VxNET8irKqxuRCT8Dyobjz2xBKsTzgZBY9Bm6dGtsjO6-2BrVjiQ6JOLqyDNb-2FnCUAo79Ois2RM6Etw92N7lRO-2FsZV-2Fd8MqX9zBFD4Ocj43vSnksPPZPO5-2BS1wJnRUtOA-2FVZ1exTc-3D">https://groups.google.com/group/ncmug-alumni</a>.</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Please add this return address to your Contacts so our email discussions don't end up in your spam folder: </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">NCMUG Alumni <ncmug-alumni at <a class="" href="https://meet.meetup.com/wf/click?upn=8F3XZN-2FzYItOArcDjbIq7iANhmFMEkbrbhsxVE6kiIU-3D_x223sdS5WKiKlF-2Bf-2BG0OekQG19hhlueav-2F4GjAaa3zkHSX6p0o6XF1-2F5ybzacM46JE2lb6f8qYTJBJOpXI-2BafCRHV9LzQkh-2B0VyL2rdNyUFgXbjdHo-2B2egISbOs0cUgjKN7QbQtbZDWXcXjbaXVbpq7s3RKGbhKuySNVPfjhuqvi8HDggB5UhIktfZgLdCR3T0S6r6g3DLcVdYbaif3lwMTiAGFg4DpVjz-2BYrvXKkOY-3D">googlegroups.com</a>> (obvi, please substitute the real character for the at, with no spaces)</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Note: Once you have joined the group, you do not need to login to google groups to use the email list-- just send an email to (or reply to) NCMUG Alumni <ncmug-alumni at <a class="" href="https://meet.meetup.com/wf/click?upn=8F3XZN-2FzYItOArcDjbIq7iANhmFMEkbrbhsxVE6kiIU-3D_x223sdS5WKiKlF-2Bf-2BG0OekQG19hhlueav-2F4GjAaa3zkHSX6p0o6XF1-2F5ybzacM46f8-2B0U9QGdA3ebRHvAnWUXDg7vL6HhorswFXOkVpeysW02aABi1yiG0CpR7DPyNsdvCTo454qOsSt9ixZymzvW-2Fp1mgnPnF4Rmjcj2IyFWOwnWi0ZNkOCNHR9PQZlTuBEPD-2FG9uysQ2ZYjVVBUKSCN3GZfIZR5PMjVH1wkLu5yT0-3D">googlegroups.com</a>>.</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">However, if you want to adjust or update your delivery preferences, you will need to login online with a google account. Only when you sign in to the group online using your google account, can you update your email address or adjust your delivery preferences there; for example, delivery options are: </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">(a) every message as it is posted </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">(b) a daily digest email </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">(c) a digest every 25 messages. </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">If you have trouble joining the google group, or adjusting your delivery preferences, send me an email message containing the email address you want me to add directly, your screen name as you wish it to appear, and which delivery preference. My email address is emilyf at sonic dot net. </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">We are looking for a few volunteers, friendly geeks, willing to be made co-managers for the google group list, in case of need. This group is extremely low-maintenance. But to spare you all the notifications of requests to join, we won't add you until after the bulk of our former members have moved over and joined the group. Please let us know if you are willing. </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">All our previous Sonic list courtesy behavior expectations will apply to this email list as well. Managers may monitor and function as List Moms. </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Again, the google "group" is only an email list. If you are also wishing for a more social group, you can join the old NCMUG Facebook GROUP, which will continue under a revised name, here: <a class="" href="https://meet.meetup.com/wf/click?upn=pEEcc35imY7Cq0tG1vyTt4Qsz0OkZRmNmr-2BCWT5l72JOBkpHdLueFuV7D3U4AG1n_x223sdS5WKiKlF-2Bf-2BG0OekQG19hhlueav-2F4GjAaa3zkHSX6p0o6XF1-2F5ybzacM46P8-2FK14Gk9VCYm7zA3W10GG-2BzYrxeYeb0ytytEQEp4-2F8EDcMOXHVcMMaWx-2BSFDFBLq9qYXwFc79YWc7rKieEQv66lH9auIGFuY7BYPCucE3auwZ19JneyBSNhqTesTGQle1kqzopzM-2BPeG-2FI81GYyH3TMUhXm-2FK-2BFWv40dIa8KTQ-3D">https://www.facebook.com/groups/ncmug/</a>. </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">(However the old NCMUG Facebook PAGE goes away along with the NCMUG dot org website. A Facebook business *page* is different from a Facebook social *group*.) </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Cheers, </div>
