Special Interest Group meetings are for ABCUG members and are usually held in the host member's home. The SIG meetings are focused on a particular area of interest and often allow "hands on" experience, a chance to learn about new tools and an opportunity to socialize with other menbers.

Contests for 2007

In January we announced a contest to encourage members to create videos. They will be judged by the membership this Fall, like our Calendar Contest. Many of our meetings will focus on aspects of making a video, so this is our theme for the year.

Remember to make entries for our calendar contest, too. Your summer vacations provide a great opportunity to make winning entries. --If you remember to keep your camera close.
