Washington Apple Pi Afternoon Learners-Retired Persons' SIG

Next meeting - Thursday, September 16, 2010, 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Note: the SIG is in Hiatus (a little town south of Incommunicado) during the summer

Important! RSVP to the SIG leader, leonard.adler@wap.org as we have limited seating.

Afternoon Learners are members of Washington Apple Pi who use this time and place to increase computer skill by sharing presentations of what they've found to make the Mac their favorite operating system. Bring a friend!

I am seeking a replacement for this role as coordinator and leader after several years. Whether the group continues depends on what members would like to invest in this wonderful source of learning and comaraderie about computing on a Macintosh. We seem to continue with many ideas, and many presenters. Its been good. What's next?

We meet at the Clubhouse, Washington Apple Pi, 12022 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, MD 20852 from 1-2:30, Thursday, 10/15/09. Visitors and newcomers are welcome. We welcome friends!

Everyone welcome! At the Washington Apple Pi offices in Rockville, MD.

The PI's outstanding bulletin board service is at your disposal. There is a special Retired SIG message board in the Pi Conference. You are strongly encouraged to use this medium of communication when you want a dialog on a subject of interest to other members of the SIG.

The numerous other message boards on the Washington Apple Pi Telecommunications System are an invaluable source of aid and comfort to those seeking answers to technical questions or other kinds of problems.

About the SIG

The name "Afternoon Learners - Retired SIG" is not meant to imply that the SIG is only for people who are no longer working. Anyone who has time available during the day is welcome. For that reason, our meetings take place from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM on the third Thursday of each month. There are occasions when meetings have to be shifted so please be sure to check the Pi calendar and this web site for the latest information.

We try to help our members get more enjoyment out of their Macintosh computers by providing simple tutorials, help with operational issues and fellowship.

The SIG seeks, as its long range goal, to develop a community of Pi members who will get to know one another and work together to satisfy their own needs and contribute to the advancement of the Pi.

SIG (Special Interest Group) Activities

There are occasions when meetings have to be shifted so please be sure to check the Pi calendar and this web site for the latest information.

SIG meetings always begin and end with Free-Form Tech Support sessions. In which we try to solve members' problems by sharing tips and tricks for coping with Mac applications, system software, and hardware.
