Wrap Up

Last quarter we focused on ways to increase membership in our efforts to help user groups. This quarter we focus on Publicity ideas, with articles on page 4, page 5, and page 6. What would you like for us to focus on next quarter? What challenges are you experiencing in your user group that you would like for our Directors and Advisors to focus on?

And if we have missed any UGs who are also celebrating their 25th birthdays, we wish you another 25 years as well.
