Come join the CONTEST!!! WHERE? Our meeting facility was quite nice. Wutine a the ar created). The Info-Net CP/M Users Group have a policy of requesting voluntary contributions of $20.00 per year. The group decided that this seemed appropriate for us also. By making it voluntary, no oe had a comfortable relaxe meeting W unanimousl decide t continu meeting there until the Group becomes too large for that location. See the Figure at the end of the newsletter for directions to the meeting pne is excluded because of financial considerations. The KQED-TV philosophy of providing such good benefits that participating members would feel guilty about not participating with expenses seemed a good one. lace. WHEN? The Info-Net CP/M Users Group meet on the second Thursday o th month Al Osborn User ar eligibl堠 t participate in this group, and some may wish to belong to both groups. Our group can benefit from OSUG NEWSLETTER Vol.1 No.1 - Continued LEADERS? Until we become so large that democracy seems required, the group seemed willing to accept volunatry leadership. Consequently, the officers for the time being are:  information learned at the Info-Net meetings. Therefore the group decided that we would meet on the third Thursday of the month to take advantage of this association. This means that the next meeting will occur on Oct.
