New Jersey Computer Club Meeting

Fred Sabin opened the meeting at 7:30 p.m. There were approximately 26 members and guests in attendance. 

• The Minutes of the last general meeting and the Treasurer's Report, as posted in the Newsletter on the "njcc.org" website, were approved.
  
  

• NJCC and Raritan Valley Community College's ATCC will hold a joint Microsoft meeting on October 17, 2001. The new Windows XP operating system will  be the subject of this meeting.
   
  





• September 5th NJCC Executive Committee Meeting was discussed. Membership Chairperson, Rich Giorgi, has resigned this position. The Executive Committee is grateful for his years of devoted service. Terry Beck was appointed the new Membership Chairperson. 2002 NJCC Dues will remain at $36/year for two persons at same address. 2002 NJCC Officers will be elected at the November meeting.

  
  

• The NEW JERSEY COMPUTER CLUB FOUNDERS’ MEMORIAL AWARD SCHOLARSHIP held a computer yard sale on August 18th to raise funds for our scholarship program. Thus far, the net proceeds of the sale are $2636. Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) held a luncheon for the first two co-recipients of the scholarship on September 17th. The general membership, without dissent, approved the following actions taken by the Executive Committee:
  1) The $500 Founders' Memorial Award previously given to RVCC students will be taken from scholarship funds rather than from general funds.
  2) $500 from general funds will be donated to the non-profit Cooperative Housing Corporation. This corporation provides subsidized housing and has generously provided Phil Corbo with storage space needed for our refurbished computers program.

• John Beck discussed future programs, including Doug Beck's workshop on assembling a PC scheduled for September 19th.
  
  

• After a short break at 8 p.m., Russell AIN of BAMnet, an ISP that charges on a per minute basis, made a presentation. 
  

Respectfully Submitted,
Tom Kehoe, Secretary
