2001 General monthly meetings

December 18, 2001, Holiday Party!

Note: this is the third Tuesday of the month!
We celebrate this holiday season with another exciting holiday party (directed by Jan Williams and VGail Vonderweidt) on December 18th, highlighted with a Chinese Raffle.

Last year we raffled off scanners, printers, CPUs and more for the cost of raffle tickets. Be a part of this fun evening. Bring your cast off Apple products that are no longer useful to you and buy raffle tickets to get some great finds.

If you were part of the Raffle last year you had the opportunity to pick and choose from a vast array of "goodies" that were just the right thing for you. This year PMUG members can buy 12 raffle tickets for only $5.00 non-members get to purchase 6 for $5.00. Members also get a free ticket with their name badge.

What does the Chinese Raffle do for PMUG? It creates revenue for our worthy cause. We upgrade our hardware, give honorariums to some of our interesting speakers, upgrade our book library and fund the cost of the terrific holiday party dinner.
