Hi,
I am starting a user group here in Hawaii. Naturally, you are all welcome to stop by when you have a chance. Have some questions however.

1) What are the costs associated with running a user group?
2) Do most user groups charge fees, or not? If not, how do they cover costs?
3) How do you go about gettin speakers, and are there fees associated?
4) Do you setup as a none profit corporation, or is it not necessary?

Thanks in advance.

Daniel



Here is the notice I sent to all the Hawaii UT people.

Organizational meeting will be held:

October 24, 2001
7:30 pm
Manoa Innovation Center, upstairs conference room
Pizza is possible. If anyone is interested, please contact me.

We will be discussing our formation, and the recent FoxPro DevCon. We will also be selecting speaker topics for future meetings.

Sampling of Cool Topics to Discuss:

Microsoft's new outlook on Fox.
How to make SQL statements that REALLY fly.
Technology to switch between multiple backend data sources, including fox.

First 3 arrivals will receive a cool VFP 7.0 coffee mug, from Microsoft.
Also available are some complementary issues of CODE magazine and FoxPro Advisor (I forgot to pickup the FoxTalk issues, sorry).

Hope too see you there.
