OUR NEXT MEETING
The next session is scheduled for 10 am on Friday, January 31, 2025 at the Danville Library on Front Street.
TOPIC TBD
The TUG activity group meets at 10 am on the last Friday of the month (except in November). We are using the RSVP feature of our web site to manage attendance. Please make sure you update your website profile to include TUG interest, so you don’t miss the notice when the sign-up is available.
Our Mission Statement
The Technology User Group provides a forum for SIR members to exchange practical knowledge / information on topics that directly relate to the application and use of technology in our daily lives via formal presentations and informal discussion groups. Topics will be driven by members of this activity group. The group will meet in person at the Danville Library or online via Zoom when a physical meeting isn't possible.
Administratively, we are now using the RSVP feature of our web site to manage attendance as we do have a capacity limitation at the Danville Library. Please make sure you update your website profile to include TUG interest, so you don’t miss the notice when the sign-up is available.
