                         (volunteer meeting)

   This month, instead of reaching out to the world, we're going to
   turn our focus inward.  Not since November 2000, has there been a
   gathering of NYLUG about NYLUG.  This month we're going to do it
   twice! Last held in November 2000, these meetings will be an
   opportunity to give your input, creativity, and effort to the
   group, and help shape its future direction.

     * Kind of meetings/events NYLUG holds
     * Events NYLUG attends
     * Updating the NYLUG logo
     * The new NYLUG web site
     * RSVP software
     * Job listings software
     * Any other ideas

   Our first word in January 1999 was fittingly,  "Hello" and we've
   gotten together at least once in each of the last eighty-eight
   months. Your help will make the next eighty-eight even better than
   the first eighty-eight.

   First, please join us this month at 6:30pm at the Winter Garden at
   the World Financial Center, to discuss various projects and ideas
   about NYLUG.  We'll be meeting directly at the tables in the Winter
   Garden, or outside at the corner of Park Place and Broadway at
   6:20pm.  

   We are also seeking volunteers for three new coordinator teams:

     * Web team (graphics, content, coding)
     * Publicity team (announcements, flyers, etc.)
     * Media team (meeting videos, photos, audio, streaming)

   Afterward, around 7:30pm, we will migrate somewhere for dinner.
   (suggestions to info@nylug.org )

   Meeting Dates: May 25, 2006 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm
                  May 30, 2006 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm
