Our May 17 Meeting

     Our May 17 PMUG meeting was an enjoyable time for learning and socializing. President David Passell started off with introductions of visitors.  Kenneth & Pat Greenlee, and Clarence & Joan Feiereisel joined the club, and Howard LaPittus rejoined.  Chris Shovel and Norman Foster were guests, also.

     Roger Lakner gave a demonstration of Banner Zest, from the website www.aquafades.com.  He told us how easy it is to use and showed examples of interesting layouts of photos chosen, sized, and arranged for a website or blog.
       With Don's help I gave a presentation on Exploring Google Earth, especially for new users. With a printed handout we looked at how to find it, how to fly to various locations and viewed features such as tourist attractions, 3D buildings, and controls.  Thanks to John Carter for his input.  After showing the Google Sky feature we closed with a quick look at Don's favorite Widgets.  If you want a copy of this handout Erica will be posting it via the Ambassador site.
       After the Cookie Break the short business meeting was open to nominations for officers.  See Bobbie Pastor's minutes of the meeting.  Voting will take place in June.
     Newly printed PMUG brochures, hot off the press from friends at Think4Ink were handed out for us to share at businesses, as well as give to friends and likely prospects. From our PMUG website anyone can click on Guest Pass to bring up the pdf and then print it out themselves.  It's a sharp looking piece!
     Dan and Erica Simpson reminded us that the June SIG meets on the 28th instead of the usual second Saturday.  Remember, you can subscribe to iCal and keep up to date.
