MANATEE PC USERs' GROUP of Manatee County Florida
Message from our MPCUG President
For those of you that weren’t at the October General meeting, I made an announcement that at the end of 2012 Manatee PC Users Group will be dissolved. After considerable thought this date has been changed (pending a vote by the Board) to May 31st, 2012. What is happening today is the people that are of the age to take part in the club have worked on computers their entire career, and no longer feel the need for a Users Group. Look at our Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren, most of them are adept at using the computer. They have outgrown us.
I hope all of you understand why we did this. The purpose of forming MPCUG in 1990 was to create an environment where members could help each other learn about using that “Newfangled” computer. Through the years MPCUG has become more of a “Teacher and Student” club, and the “Teachers” are becoming “burned out”. MPCUG will stop taking new members after January 1, 2012, and all the Members as of that time will have renewal dues pro-rated through May. Thank you all for your support.
If you would like to continue with a computer club Ana from H2U is going to start one up, and you can contact her directly at: Ana.Guillermo@HCAhealthcare.com.

NOTE: The executive board has agreed to change the final date from December to May 2012.
View the H2U calendar at their web site.
The club is disbanded, this web site will be available until the first of July, hope you you have enjoyed being a club member. The H2U Friday classroom help will continue until the end of May. A big thank you to Freedom Village for the use of their fine facility for all these years!
