My Wishes for ccOKC in 2012
It is my wish for this Computer Club of OK City
in 2012:
that we will find grants to provide additional
funding,
that we can find ways to increase our
membership,
that we can provide fantastic and informative
speakers for each meeting
that we can continue to enjoy the company of
each other and the “JOY” of computing as well.
Here is my wish to each of you for a healthy,
wealthy and happy New Year!

The Following Is Very Important
In fairness to all, no one will be allowed to
register for the drawing after 7:05 p.m. You
MUST have a current Computer Club of Oklahoma
City badge with you to enter the members' prize
drawing. If you forget your badge, you have lost
it, or it has expired, you will not be eligible
to fill out a prize drawing slip. If you need a
ne badge, or need to renew your membership to
the Club, please see or email our Membership
Chairman, Rajeana Brown, at least 24 hours
before the General Meeting. No new or
replacement badges will be printed the night of
the meeting. The club's email address is:
members@ccokc.org and the Club's Resource
Center is 405-843-4300 (leave a message if there
is no answer).
This is a firm rule for all meetings, so please
be sure you bring your badge with you each
month.
You are welcome to stay for the presentation
without your badge, but you will not be allowed
to participate in the drawing, no matter how
long you've been a member of the Club. You can,
of course, purchase a Club membership that
evening but will not be eligible for the
members' drawing until the following month.

The Computer Club of OKC offers
many different
Study Groups. They are groups of 10-50
people who meet monthly to learn about a
particular subject. The format is part
presentation and part facilitated discussion.
A
STUDY GROUP, once called a
Special Interest Group, is an informal group
within ccOKC whose participants share a common
interest.
As such, a STUDY GROUP is the
place to ASK QUESTIONS, LEARN
and GET HELP about the subject
of that study group through the questions asked
by all and the demonstrations by the Study Group
leader. All Study Groups are FREE
and ALL ARE INVITED!
