Special Training Workshop on the NEW PAS WEBSITE May 29 7pm to 10pm at PVCC G-147

PAS MEETING OF THE MINDS

Next Meeting: Thursday, May 29, 2008

Location: PVCC in G-147 at 7pm – We start promptly at 7:30pm


This meeting is usually held on the last Thursday of each month. Special circumstances may change that date (Turkey Day & X-mas). Check for proper dates on website in Upcoming Events or the new CALENDAR feature on the NEW PAS WEBSITE. This month's meeting is scheduled for the date above.

No RSVP is needed for the meeting, and the meeting is open to anyone interested in talking about the business portion of PAS, upcoming events, ideas on how to improve PAS, setting up star parties, and more. Special meetings are sometimes called and held at the MOM's.

Topics are needed. If we don't have enough topics to make the meeting worth meeting for, we will cancel the meeting a day or so prior. Watch for changes on the site, or email me for status. Usually, a few days prior to the meeting, I send out the list of topics to be discussed.

Please do not bring children to this meeting. Although we do sometimes have presentations, demonstrations and more fun than you can imagine, we do not wish to bore children while we talk over PAS Business Stuff.

The meeting will run up to 10pm, but usually ends prior to 10 and then we socialize for the remainder of the time or call it an evening, early.

Your topics are welcome. Email them to me right away or bring them along to the meeting. You do not have to feel obligated to stay the entire length of the meeting. Leave when you need to unless your topic hasn't been discussed yet. Let me know if you need to leave early and we will take care of your topic near the beginning of the meeting. NO SCHEDULED DINNER PRIOR TO THE MEETING THIS MONTH. See you at the MOM's!

For anyone who can not attend this special TRAINING WORKSHOP on how to use the NEW PAS WEBSITE, drop me an email and let's work on a date at BOOKMAN'S in which we can get together and give you a bit of training there. When you send me the email, include the evenings that are best for you... such as... Thursday evening might be the best for me, but you might have other things that happen that night, like ASU Classes or work... So, let me know what works best and I will try to plan a night from 7pm to 10pm that works best for all who need to attend, including Chris, our teacher!!! Thanks.
