Welcome to CCUG-PC!
News!
Chalmette
Computer Users’ Group is Alive and Kicking!
By Elaine Pitre
Chalmations and St. Bernardians
are a strong group of people as
we saw on Saturday, May 9th, when a reunion group of CCUG-PC members met
for the first time since Hurricane Katrina hit on August 29, 2005. All
were hard hit and fled from their homes to safer grounds, hoping not to
go through a disaster like
this ever again.
Members came from different areas of Louisiana (Denham Springs, Hammond,
Loranger, Harahan, Kenner, Lacombe, Slidell and Mandeville, Abita
Springs) as well as, Mississippi (Carriere. Foxworth and Diamondhead).
Garland Hilton received top honors for traveling the furthest, coming
from Foxworth, Mississippi, near Hattisburg. (He also won a retail copy
of Microsoft Office Professional 2003 in our prize-drawing).
Piccadilly Cafeteria in Covington was the setting for the luncheon. They
were extremely accommodating and can’t thank them enough. Everyone wants
to do this again and decided we would have a luncheon on August 8. We
had a respectable twenty-plus members attend the luncheon and are hoping
the next one will have more.
E-mails will go out occasionally to keep you abreast of our group. Jerry
is starting Newsbits again and will attempt and online forum. Coos to
everyone attending.
(Ed. A proposed 2nd quarterly reunion
luncheon is being planned attentively for Saturday, August 8th at 11:30
a.m. at the Piccadilly Cafeteria in Covington. Further info is being
discussed and notifications is forthcoming in the near future. Stay
tuned. Also group members can expect its first issue of Newsbits
Electronically (PDF format) to be sent to members prior to the meeting
with details.
For more information,
please contact Elaine Pitre at

seat properly and cost is at the expense of members who wish luncheon
accommodations.

event!
