Hello,
I am Conrad Geiger of NeXT. I am helping coordinate NeXT User Group activity.
I am now looking for what you need to make your User Group more successful.You
might think of this as your opportunity to tell NeXT what you want your
user group to be and how we can help you achieve that goal. Would you like
your group's name to appear in the official NeXT User Group register?
If you are not the appropriate person to respond to this message, would
you please forward this to that person?
If you would please take a few moments and reply to me on a few items that
I can use to help you :
*****NEXT USERS GROUP SURVEY*************************************************
1. What is the name of your local NeXT User Group? Who are the
officers/leaders Do you have their addresses and email addresses?
2. How often do you meet? Do you meet at different sites or at the same
location? If at the same location - where? How long are your meetings?
