[Ggcs-presentations] Fwd: [ncmug] Don't miss out, OPT IN NOW to th e new NCMUG-Alumni email discussion list.

Two things occur to me re this notice" 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. 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. 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. 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.   Possible forums might be: General, Beginners, etc. Forums could be open to members only, to keep them as a membership benefit. bb

FYI.
 Dissolution of North Coast Mac User Group (Santa Rosa/Rohnert Park) Jim OserBegin forwarded message:From: Emily F <ncmug-list at meetup.com>Subject: [ncmug] Don't miss out, OPT IN NOW to the new NCMUG-Alumni email discussion list.Date: May 9, 2018 at 8:46:29 PM PDTTo: ncmug-list at meetup.comReply-To: ncmug-list at meetup.comMessage-Id: <1948002603.1525923989423.JavaMail.nobody at 5ddf33c10c7b>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! 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. � This list has the blessing of the NCMUG Board, who are busy with months of tedious tasks to legally dissolve our non-profit corporation. � You read that right: any and ALL FORMER MEMBERS and friends of NCMUG are welcome.  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. Go directly to the google group to request to join:  https://groups.google.com/group/ncmug-alumni. Please add this return address to your Contacts so our email discussions don't end up in your spam folder: NCMUG Alumni <ncmug-alumni at googlegroups.com>  (obvi, please substitute the real character for the at, with no spaces) 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 googlegroups.com>. 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: (a) every message as it is posted (b) a daily digest email (c) a digest every 25 messages.  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.  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.  All our previous Sonic list courtesy behavior expectations will apply to this email list as well. Managers may monitor and function as List Moms.  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: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ncmug/. (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*.)  Cheers, Emily Floutonemilyf at sonic dot net    -- Please Note: If you hit "REPLY", your message will be sent to everyone on this mailing list (ncmug-list at meetup.com) This message was sent by Meetup on behalf of Emily F from North Coast Macintosh Users Group.
