Meeting will be held in-person at Yavapai College, Building 3 (cafeteria building), room 119 and electronic through Zoom.

We will have the after-Christmas luncheon postponed from January right after this meeting. Wildflower Bread restaurant at the Prescott Pine Ridge mall will be catering, and PMUG will cover the cost. The menu will have sandwiches and chips, plus water and coffee. We’re really hoping to see lots of our local members there.

If you’re planning to come, please let the secretary know your name and any guests’ names by February 8. Deborah Neff, our new treasurer, will be taking care of the food orders. Contact her through HTTPS://WWW.PMUG.US/CONTACT.

Just a friendly reminder that membership dues of $25 are due after the new year. Deborah Neff is exploring different payment options, including Zelle, or you can bring a check to the January meeting made payable to PMUG (Prescott Mac User Group). See our website for Zell instructions: https://www.pmug.us/join-now
