- This is a special mailing from the Connecticut CP/M Users' Group. It
- contains a fair amount of material! One of the most important things
- it contains is an application for membership renewal. Our Group
- cannot survive unless once a year you take the time to dig deep and
- send in your $15 to cover the costs of its operation. I apologize for
- the lateness of this mailing (if I get this in the mail tomorrow
- morning there's a slight chance you'll get it Tuesday, just in time
- for you to change your plans and come to the monthly second Tuesday
- (September 13th) meeting which will be back at the Farmington Public
- Library - 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM.)
-
- Sorry about that. This may be late, but it may be worth the wait.
- Last meeting in August was pretty well attended. Mostly we decided
- upon a slate of officers. I still have to call one of the
- Presidential nominees to see if he would like to run. I put things
- off alot these days. But I will try and reach him and on Tuesday we
- can vote our new leaders in. Tom Veile has graciously agreed to stay
- on as Treasurer. Richard Steadman wants to be the new Software
- Librarian. I'll continue to record monthly meeting notes in the
- Newsletter as Secretary. Brian Richard Nalewajek has agreed to be
- available as a Presidential nominee. Glen Gross is the fellow I
- haven't called yet although we have talked a bit in the past about his
- interest in being President. Hope he can find the time to be our
- President. I think he would be excellent. I think Brian would be
- excellent too. Jim Taylor will be running for Newsletter Editor. Al
- Hathway will be our (finally someone actually offered to take this
- important position!) Program Co-Ordinator. 1988-89 is shaping up to
- be a very interesting year indeed!
-
- There's an application for NZ-COM (Z3-PLUS) inside. I am mailing Joe
- Wright the application a User Group may fill out which will allow us
- to become a dealer for his products. You will save approximately $19
- by buying the new Z-System thru us. I am running NZCOM on my Royal
- and will be demonstrating it at some future meeting. This is very
- important software and I strongly urge you to fill out your order and
- send it to Joe. We still need our User Group Z-PLAN number but I
- think Joe will honor your order now if you send it. I thought it was
- too important to delay releasing this form. In fact, you might want
- to read what I've written on our application to him for Dealer status.
-
- Here's an index for what's inside. Remember, the KEY THING TO DO is
- to FILL OUT YOUR APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL and send it in. Yes, I hate
- to say it, but this will be YOUR LAST NEWSLETTER unless you renew.
- I've finally entered all our names into my little home grown database
- manager (DATA211B.BAS) and you can find your name on one of the pages
- inside which shows all 66 members. (We mail to several people on a
- complimentary basis. Only Karlynn Carrington's name is included on
- the enclosed mailing list label pages (just got a letter from her
- telling us she's moving to Washington state). Jay Sage, Joe Wright,
- Marc Warren, BPMUG, TCC, Wayne Masters, Steven Greenburg, FOG, TCJ,
- and others will be sent this mailing and will be added to our
- complimentary list. If you know someone you think would benefit from
- our news, let us know.)

- 9. Something Jim Taylor slipped into my hand at the last meeting. A
- structured brainstorm on how we might procede with our group. He I'm

- might want to see something on it.

- Well that's about it for now. I'm off to work. Then off to the YOU
