Next Meeting July 20, 2009
Jewel / Osco Location at 7:30 pm
Members Helping Members since 1979!
Yes, you are at the right site!
We had a little remodeling party over the weekend! Now that all the tarps and paint cans have been put away and the floors have been swept up, we want to know what you think!
We have moved some items into the DAUG Blog. You will find past meeting topics, meeting summaries, and web design tips. You can add comments, now that the blog is based on WordPress, but you do need to register. Comments will be moderated.
Auction 2003 pictures found!
Ed Danley found pictures from the 2003 DuPage AUG auction!
Where did we get all of this stuff and who bought it? Do you still have some of these items?
You may notice a few more changes here…
This page is mostly made from blog posts using WordPress. This means that more than one person can manage the site using any computer or an iPhone!
We used RapidWeaver to handle the theme and page relationships and have moved to a new host, GoDaddy.com. If you have any suggestions or comments, please send them to Webmaster at DuPageAUG dot com .
Photos from our 25th Anniversary Party Found!
I ran across photos I had taken at the party. Check them out!
If you have photos of any group outing or party, please contact Webmaster at DuPageAUG dot com and we will get them posted
The DuPage AUG Message Board is available now!
And, without leaving DuPageAUG.com! Try out the new Forum tab in the top menu!
The message board is intended for the exchange of information, help request, meeting topic requests, announcements, and more. You can join today!
You need to join the DAUG Google Group. Please include your real name when signing up as it will help the group managers find your membership record.
Once you join, you can post a message using either a web browser or your E-mail application.
If you setup a GMail.com account specific to any Google Groups and select to receive messages using your E-mail program and use the standard account settings, you will not see your original message. A work around this is to not use GMail’s outgoing (smtp) server, but use your default (ComCast, Earthlink, etc.)
