Meeting May 13th 2023

Greetings, Current and Future AHCS Members!


Reminder: Monthly AHCS Meeting

When: This Saturday, May 13, 2023 1:00pm to 5:00pm

Where: Christ the Lord Lutheran Church, 1001 Duluth Hwy, Lawrenceville, GA 30043

What: Our monthly meetings run from 1pm to 5pm.

 
Club President Earl Baugh will preside over this month’s meeting. Normally club business is called to order at 2 pm and then adjourns an hour or so later. Members are asked to arrive early and to stay later to help set up and take down tables and chairs. And don’t forget to bring your name badge so that newcomers can identify our seasoned members. If you don’t have a name badge, please get with the club secretary, Mark Little, while at the meeting. Who: Anyone who is a past, current, or future member of the AHCS is welcome to attend!
 

CLUB BUSINESS:

VCFSE 10.0: July will be here before you know it, so this month the club will continue to discuss the planning for this year’s show, including (but not limited to) featured speakers, soldering workspace, member displays and exhibits, and how to market the show to a wider audience.
 

SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE:

We need some help with our social media and “influencer” type of work; it’s too much work for one person. Discussion will be held and volunteers will be solicited to help get the website, Facebook, and Twitter accounts up-to-date and exciting.
 

DUES FOR 2023:

As always, we will continue to collect yearly dues from all members and potential members. Annual rate is $20 and will cover the dues up to August of 2023 when we hold officer elections.  Check with Josh if you need to pay.

 

PRESENTATIONS:

If any member or attendee would like to provide a brief presentation (15-20 minutes) at a future meeting about a vintage computer/subject that you are passionate about, simply let either Club President Earl Baugh or Club Secretary Mark Little know so that your presentation can be added to the agenda. A projector for PowerPoint presentations is also available; just let Earl know ahead of time so that he can bring it.

SHOW AND TELL:

 
Don’t forget to bring your vintage or retro computer projects so that you can utilize the technical and historical expertise our club members freely offer, as well as to show off what you have!
 
FREE TABLES:
 
Club members and attendees are encouraged to bring any old computer/electronic hardware or software, working or not, that they no longer want/need for placement on the Free Tables. And any items that anyone wants to offer at a reasonable price to any attendees are also welcome. We do ask that all members and attendees refrain from browsing the Free Tables while club business is being conducted.
 
Please plan to attend this important meeting. And we hope to see everyone there!
 
Mark Little AHCS Secretary
