Need a goal for 2010? How about sharpening your skills by reading some books? But what to read? Look no further. Four of your fellow Memphis JUG members will share their "top reads" at our first meeting of 2010!

This will be a working/planning meeting, with the following goals in mind:

• Defining and encouraging volunteer participation in various JUG leadership roles
• Brainstorming meeting topics for 2010
• Brainstorming different meeting formats
• Looking at how we can help grassroots promotion of the upcoming NFJS Mid-South Software Symposium in April 2010.
• Any other things that we want to discuss.

I strongly encourage anyone who wants to take a more hands-on role in making the Memphis/Mid-South JUG an ongoing success to attend!
