WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A VOLUNTEER? Submitted by:Victoria Pasquale It means that you care that this organization exists. It means you want to help others. It means you want to make a difference in your "computer club".

We've had a really great response to our plea last month in these Bits & Bytes, as well as at the general meeting. Howard Dennewitz and Leo McCarthy have both volunteered to greet people when we have our once-a-month meetings. Lou Buindo and Magnus Unflat have offered to help anywhere we need help, and Lou may even be interested in becoming a board member next year! Vivian Rothermel is our new Raffle Chairman, and hubby Jack Rothermel is on the list for potential board member. Peter Feigl already runs a SIG and has offered to be a new board member as well. Jim Barnard helps out at the Computer Lab and is a potential candidate for the board of directors, either this year or next. So are Susan Eisenberg, John Carcano, Paul Hunter, and Pat Foster. Our new Name tag Chairman is Florence Hauser.

We still need an Advertising Manager to keep track of advertisers in this newsletter and scout for potential advertisers. And there are lots of little jobs that take little time and effort, like putting back the tables and chairs after our meetings, and labeling our newsletters for mailing every month. Discover the joys of helping others - and helping yourself in the process. Please call or email either our President, Blake Boyer (878-1355), Vice President, Spence Spencer (220-8383), or any one of our directors and ask how YOU can help. Let's make TCCUG a truly 100% "voluntary organization"!

Our thanks to all those who have offered to volunteer and to those who are already doing their part. Keep up the good work!
