In these tough economic times, it has become more difficult to find vendors and knowledgeable individuals willing to come present their products and information to our group. If you are willing to make a presentation, please email our president, Clyde Schubarth at president@lvpcug.org,
“Future of the Club” Committee
The Committee
has met and presented their ideas to the Board of Directors. Several changes
have been made to help with the Club:
-
Clyde Schubarth will remain President until January, 2010. Harold Rozinski will be Vice President, and Judy Ruf will be Executive Director.
-
The Club is in need of Volunteers in order to continue. Several positions are available to spread the work out and not make a few carry all of the load.
-
A survey was sent to the members asking questions to help direct the plans. Here is a synopsis of the survey:
-
39 members acknowledged receipt of the survey and replied.
-
18 members acknowledged receipt and did not reply.
-
53 members acknowledged receipt and did not reply.
-
The majority of the members were in support on continuing the Club; however, only a few were willing to help.
An
update on this will be presented at the General Meeting. Please send an e-mail
to President@lvpcug.com if you have any questions or suggestions before the
General Meeting.

We are a non-profit organization based in Las Vegas, Nevada that began in the 1980's. LVPCUG relies on its members to provide unique resources for the benefit of those interested in the field of computers.
The organization's goals are to promote fellowship among members, share computer knowledge and contribute computer expertise. Members use, recommend and install the latest products, and help individuals to utilize the capabilities of the technology they own.
This is a wonderful opportunity for people to learn more about computers. You can attend a meeting presented by a knowledgeable speaker; explore your interest with Special Interest Groups; get the latest copy of the newsletter that contains technical articles, reviews, and other news to read at your leisure.
Any individuals interested in computers may apply for membership. Whether you are a novice, expert, computer professional, or an average computer user who wants to maximize existing skills or acquire more, we invite you to join with us in pursuing this collaborative mission.

The LVPCUG maintains an information telephone line, which outlines our General Meeting, and where questions may be left. All phone messages will be responded to by one of our board members.
A General Meeting is held monthly (except July and August) during which we have a computer expert, software developer, or speakers of interest. We encourage visitors to our General Meeting. Please check our Calendar for dates and times.
