Dues are due this month (January), $10. It's extremely low cost for what you get. Please remit.
During the pandemic we didn't process membership billing correctly. The board decided to change the billing cycle so that all memberships started January 1. This last year, income covered half the expenses, so we need more money to sustain the club. Dues are $10, as we needed to cover only online expenses.
The mailing address of the club is:
Please, if you didn't pay this year or any of the previous 2 years, send us dues. It's a bargain at $10. We are busilly working to get our financials up-to-date.
By far the most popular activity for CIPCUG members over the years has been our Q&A sessions. We have added to this by having a podcast where we continue to answer Q&A questions from members. Post a questions on the CIPCUG Facebook page or email it to tech@ name-of-club (sorry to make it obscure, but if I didn't every spammer in the world would be my new best friend) and we'll answer it the following Tuesday -- or sometimes via a reply post or email within minutes. We need more participation among members, so ask away.
Our regular schedule is being continued on Zoom. We have added a regular Tuesday hour-long meeting on Tuesdays at 7 PM. If you haven't already, sign up for our mailing list above and you will receive login credentials. We have to do it this way to prevent Zoom-bombing. We don't need pornography and profanity from bored, nuisance non-members.
