We also want to talk about Version 11 of Family Tree Maker again. Those of you who are using it might think about what you like and don't like about this new version. The main topic of this meeting will be looking at the features of the new FTM Version 11 release. Also, please bring you questions and suggestions. We are primarily a group of Family Tree Maker users (from beginners to experts) who discuss/share problems and successes and in general help each other in the use of FTM software. If you have a problem you want to bring up at the meeting, it will help if you post it in advance to: mailto:ftm.group@l-ags.org Members owning laptops are requested to bring them to the meeting. Please bring your FTM manual also. Guests are welcome at no charge. All persons interested or potentially interested in Family Tree Maker and related software are invited to attend. For information on our group please feel free to call Richard Finn at 925.XXX-XXXX or e-mail him at XXXX@pacbell.net. ________________________________________________________ L-AGS December General Meeting Place: Temple Beth Emek, Corner of College Ave. and 'M' Street, Livermore Time: 7:30pm Date: Tuesday, December 9, 2003 Topic: Member Sharing Speakers: L-AGS Members Come share with other members what items of interest you've discovered over the past 6 months or more.

No CIG Meeting in December because of Holidays. Our next CIG meeting is planned for January 2004. Holiday Schedule December will finish our fall holidays schedule for 2003.
