APSIG Meeting Tues Dec 4th

Hey Gang

It’s been a great year for APSIG and a lot of new members and many talented individuals with varying expertise attending, Thank you all for your participation.

In an effort to improve the group and meet the needs of all attendees I would like to discuss the future of APSIG for next year

Be prepared to discuss what you would be interested in seeing as far as topic and presentations or anything you would like to discuss.

I would encourage everyone to help with presentations, Show and tells etc. to make the meeting meaningful for all.

Please think about what you may be able to help out with for next year

Currently the Jan APSIG meeting is scheduled for Jan 1st, which is a no go, currently I plan on not having a January meeting unless there is a
desire, we can try to reschedule with the Library if we feel we need to.


See you Tuesday

Have a Happy Holiday Season

Thanks
Frank
