A Message KIPCUG's President
Bill Buzan

This is the year that KIPCUG has reached the ripe old age of 25 and a half years, this is a major feat in this age of change and short lived projects. During this time, the internet did not exist, the KIPCUG organization operated a project call the "Fifth Dimension" and it was managed by a "Sysop". The Fifth Dimension provided the membership a safe (for the most part) site that shareware, freeware and crippled software could be downloaded for the members use. Some of this software was available and the General Meeting for purchase on a 3.5" floppy disk. The magazine was called "DIR KIPCUG.*" and was very informative to the computer user.

Many subsequent changes have occurred since that time. We are a computer club, i.e., an organization of computer users looking to learn new and better ways to do things and to share with their fellow users. Our Club is looking for better ways to band together and to communicate with each other and will be experimenting with some new and different ways to do so.

As we complete our second 25 years nothing will be as constant as "Change." This is your organization; please take the time to share your ideas for managing this "Change." Some of the changes are designed to get a greater participation of the members in the operation of the organization. We are made up of many talented individuals and we need their help, guidance and sweat to spring forward into the next 25. Our desire is to have each officer have an understudy or back up for the services that they perform for us all. This is an opportunity YOU THE ORGANIZATION to add a little to the over all healthy of KIPCUG.

We have plans to develop programs for the youth in the community and can use more hands in these projects. SIGs are being developed for the education of children who have a great need of a KIPCUG in their world. We will be seeking gifts and grants to fund some of the more involved and expensive programs. The goals of this administration is to Brand the name KIPCUG in this area, ask anyone about KIPCUG and they will know you. This is not a effort that that can be done by a few, we all need all the to help pull this wagon. A membership, in excess of 1,000, an HOME of our own, finances to fund all of our venture and allow for much more.

KIPCUG is in the process of re-inventing itself. This is a major effort for all of us. Call a Director and ask how you can help as OUR CLUB moves into its 26th year.

Remember KIPCUG is not the Officers and Directors but you the Members that make or break our Organization, KIPCUG. Participation by you the Membership makes all the difference.
