Now that we are meeting 10 months on the fourth Saturday and two months on the third Saturday, it is easy to become confused. So, your board has set up an email notification message which you can receive about a week before each general meeting. If you've ever forgotten a meeting, be sure to sign up.

Electronic Waste Recycling
Many members have said they need to get rid of electronic eWaste, but don't know how to do it. Here is what we have so far. If you have more information, please forward it to us using the Contact link at the bottom of every page.
Recycled Goods, next door to Boys and Girls Club of Ventura on King Drive -- behind automobile row off Johnson, accepts any computer or electronic stuff without question except for monitors. Those they have to turn on and have the monitor pass a test before they can accept it.
Also there are often eWaste Roundups in the area. The schedule can be found at www.noewaste.com. Oxnard and Pt. Hueneme residents can go to the Del Norte Recycling Center 6 days a week. Residents from everywhere other than Oxnard, Pt. Hueneme and Santa Paula can go to the Gold Coast Recycling Center on Sperry in Ventura 6 days a week.

O'Reilly Books has long been a wonderful supporter of User Groups. They have a new program that may well be the model for most reference book sources in the future. For a fee, they have made their entire library of computer books, plus many volumes from Addison-Wesley and Microsoft Press, available online. User Group members can take a free two week tour of the program. Even if you don't use computer reference books much, it may well be interesting to you to see a new way the Internet can be used to provide information. It's a fascinating program with lots of implications.
O'Reilly Books also offers the best discounted book program for user groups in the business. Be sure to stop by their online store for your 35% discount of any title. Use the discount code shown in the banner above.
