Some of our members can’t attend our monthly meetings and have asked if there is some way they could attend remotely. This is why the last 3 General Meetings have been recorded. I hope to produce a recording of our meetings on a regular basis but we need your help! I encourage everyone who wants to learn to create or edit better video, whether it’s from your smart phone or using professional equipment, to participate in a new Video workshop that that will be hosted at Charter headquarters in Newtown, CT. To learn more just send me email at VideoWorkshop@dacs.org.
Tell us what new presentations you would like to see or email us directly at programs@dacs.org. If you like what we are doing, please help to spread the word about DACS, our excellent presentations each month, our new video productions, and the workshops we run and co-sponsor with other groups throughout the month. Use social media to spread the word. Speaking of which…
The second in the series of Social Media workshops will be on Wednesday, June 24th at our Resource Center. Tom will continue where he left off with Twitter and will explore more in depth how to use and benefit from each of the popular social media applications as the workshop series continues.
I am pleased to announce that we have two WCSU interns helping us at DACS – They are seniors majoring in Management Information Systems and are both on the Dean’s list. They (and I) are being mentored by Jim Scheef and Richard Corzo, learning the fundamentals of Apache, PHP, MySQL, CiviCRM, and WordPress. We hope to give them valuable and marketable skills they can use when they graduate next May and look forward to their assistance to document and fine tune our system as part of their training.
25th anniversary – Let’s make this yearlong celebration a success. We want to create a much broader awareness of DACS as we participate in new activities, and create collectables of interest to DACS members and the general public. Talk about your ideas with Cathy Quaranta at the check-in table at our next general meeting or let her know by email.
Enjoy your summer.
From mobile to desktop, we inform, enlighten, and educate.
