Several notable milestones were accomplished
during my tenure that made my presidency very satisfying.
(1) Moved to United Methodist Church from grade school cafeteria.
(2) Activated Board of Directors.
(3) Had first presentation by a national software firm-Corel.
(4) Became affiliated with National Association of PC User Groups.
(5) Had first Christmas party and software giveaway.
(6) Initiated using kitchen for refreshments.
(7) Began project to gain non-profit tax status for Club.
"I have always felt that the Club is
unique among similar service groups in that
it can provide real tangible benefits to its members, both in
terms of providing new users with real support in learning the
ropes of computer use and experienced users with an expansion
of their enjoyment of this fantastic information medium. Best
wishes always to the CCPCUG."

John Skinner
1992-1995 |
John Skinner, our president for four years,
is a man who has definitely made a significant difference in
this User Group. Little did we know, back in 1987, when Aaron
Rennert told John about this group of people interested in computers,
that he would have such an impact on the CCPCUG. Late 1987, John
began helping with some of the programs and was Program Chairman
in 1988. He took the job as Newsletter Editor in 1989. In 1990,
he became a Director on the Board. In 1992, John continued as
Newsletter Editor and Program Manager and was installed as President
of the Group. By then, the membership had grown to about 200
people. SIG groups were formed and the membership grew. It was
through his loyalty, devotion, perseverance and just plain hard
work that this User Group had grown to over 600 members in 1995.
