Secretary’s Notes
By Jim Evans
APCUG Secretary

It’s that time of year again — APCUG membership renewal. If your group has renewed, thank you!

If your group hasn’t renewed yet, you may renew your group’s membership online at http://www.apcug.net/contacts/forms/renewal_application.htm

A fillable and print enabled pdf is available at http://www.apcug.net/contacts/forms/apcugrenewalform.pdf

If you pay by check, mail it with a copy of your renewal form to:
APCUG
3155 E. Patrick Lane, Suite 1
Las Vegas NV 89120

If you elect to pay by credit card, after clicking on ’Submit’, you will be taken to the Thank You page where you click on ‘Buy Now’. That link takes you to APCUG’s secure online store. Click on ‘Add to cart’ and then ‘Checkout’. If you have used the online store before, you can just login, or you can register as a new customer of the store.

Note: Full Members are those groups with more than 25 members; Associate Members are those groups with less than 25 members (or groups where membership is not open to the public).

Benefits of Membership

APCUG maintains an on-line database, which has room for a variety of officers. However, APCUG’s main interest is in the President, Editor, Program Coordinator and APCUG Representative of your group. These are officers who receive APCUG Reports, and who receive information from APCUG Advisors by e-mail.

If you have some question about what information we have in our on-line database, you can look it up on-line, the directions are listed below. If you are having trouble making the updates, send an e-mail to cdb@apcug.net with the information about your group and its officers. Please include the full name of the group and the city.

Directions For Updating Your Group’s Information In APCUG’s Database

Your President and/or APCUG Representative can make the updates in the on-line database at any time convenient for them. Each user group has a unique user name and password that lets them update the information for your group. Other groups can’t change your information. If your President or Rep has lost the directions, user name or password, they can send an e-mail to cdb@apcug.net to request the information. Please include the full name of the officer and the full name of the user group. We will verify the names against what we already have on file and what your Web site shows. Again a reminder: Keep your Web site current.

Some common mistakes that show up in the database when people make corrections or additions on-line are:

Mailing Address: Please only put one complete address in the mailing address fields. Do not put e-mail addresses, user group names, company names, in care of names or even a second street address.

E-Mail Address: Many times, the name and mailing address is updated, but the e-mail address is not changed. Please remember that the Email Address is on a separate screen. Click on the link at the top of the screen, “Phone Numbers and Email Addresses”.

Save Changes: At the bottom of each data entry screen, is a button labeled “Save Changes” Remember to click that button before moving to another screen.

If you are have additional questions about making corrections, please let us know.
