President's Notes (02/08)
President's Message

Member of the Sarasota Personal Computer Users Group, Inc.
Volunteers are
what make the Sarasota PC Users Group such an effective and successful organization. It takes many volunteers to run an organization this
large, as you can imagine. I would like to thank all of the volunteers
who have generously given their valuable time, and would encourage you
to continue or even expand your volunteer activities. Because of you, I
expect 2008 will be a very successful year for SPCUG.
Besides the good feelings that you get from volunteering, volunteers are
treated to an annual Volunteer Luncheon, around the Holiday Season. This
years Volunteer Luncheon was a terrific success. It was held at Michaels
on East and the food was wonderful. The chocolate dessert was described
as “out of this world;” it may be reason alone to volunteer your time.
For those of you who already volunteer your time, see if you can
“Recruit a friend to be a volunteer”, and we’ll make next year’s
volunteer luncheon even bigger.
Not only does the Volunteer of the Month get member recognition and an
invitation to the Volunteer Luncheon, but they also receive a monetary
award such as a $50 gift card to Office Depot. Not that that ever truly
compensates someone for the time and effort expended. It’s a small
token, but it shows the volunteer that the organization cares, and
appreciates the effort.
There are 10 more months in this year, that’s 10 more opportunities for
you to become the volunteer of the month. Anyone who would like to
pitch-in and help, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Pat
Wheeler.
