This is an election year
for the following officers: President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer.
Start thinking now if you would like to take on an officer roll or if you would
like to nominate someone for an officer position. It is always good to have new
views and ideas.
There are a couple new things happening this
year. First of all, MUG is a COMMON member again. If you have plans to attend
an upcoming COMMON workshop or event, please notify me so that I can confirm
with COMMON. The officers and committee members urge you to take advantage of
your MUG COMMON discount. The workshops they offer are a great benefit in our
industry.
Also, in the spirit of sustaining the group, we
need to raise the attendance fee to $25. We have not seen an increase in the
attendance fee since the early 90’s.
If you have any questions, concerns
or even suggestions on topics and venues, please do not hesitate to contact me
directly. My e-mail address is
dgiambra@hitechservices.com.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again and to a
successful 2017/2018 season with MUG.
David Giambra
MUG President
