Aloha, y'all!
This message is divided into 3 parts
Part 1: The Next Meeting
Part 2: Notes and Comments
Part 3: About VICUG NYC's General Membership Meetings
*** PART ONE: THE NEXT MEETING
VICUG NYC's next General Membership Meeting will be held in the Auditorium
of The Associated Blind/Selis Manor building on Tuesday, January Twelfth,
from 6 to 8pm. The January 12th meeting will be devoted to a demonstration
of DOS-based telecommunications programs that run under Windows 95,
Windows 98, and Windows NT. There will be a demonstration of Lynx32, a
PC-based version of the character-based browser, which you can use not
only to browse the web, but to play RealAudio and other sound files while
you are online. There will also be a demonstration of Kermit95, a
character-based telnet client that allows you to access a shell account
even when connected to your ISP via a Dial-Up Networking connection.
And, don't forget that January is dues month! We will be collecting
membership dues at the January twelfth meeting. Membership in VICUG NYC
is only 12 dollars for a full calendar year. And just what does that
twelve dollars "buy" you? A clear conscience, the right to vote, and the
right to hold office in VICUG NYC. So, while you don't have to be a
dues-paying member to attend VICUG NYC's meetings, membership is strongly
encouraged. (Please note that if you paid your membership dues during the
last quarter of 1998 [i.e. in October, November, or December] your dues
carry over through 1999.)
*** PART 2: NOTES AND COMMENTS
1. On Monday, January 11, 1999, Janina Sajka announced that, due to her
reassignment within The American Foundation for the Blind, she will be
relocating to Washington, DC at the end of the month. Janina has been an
integral part of VICUG NYC since its inception, serving on VICUG NYC's
Executive Committee as Vice-President, Acting President, and--most
recently--as a Member-at-Large. Her experience, wit, and wisdom will
certainly be greatly missed. If you would like to drop Janina a line of
thanks or wish her well in DC, you can email her at <[log in to unmask]>

Holiday Party, in particular:
Elizabeth Aldworth
George Ashoitis
Joe Bruno
Crista Earl
Jay Leventhal
Michael
Vita Zavoli
and Alekz Xavier
