This month’s discussion on the Apple User Group Discussion list (AUG-D) featured a number of posts about groups that have defied the odds and seen many years of good meetings and long-lasting friendships. Two groups with illustrious histories are North Coast Macintosh User Group (NCMUG-Ohio) of Ohio and the Silicon Mountain Macintosh User Group of Colorado (SMUG). Silicon Mountain, now headed by President Jeff Jensen and VP Mark Griffith, celebrates 25 years on September 2, with a pizza party. NCMUG – Ohio, currently led by President John Stealey, VP Steven Fyffe, and Past President Larry Hrusovsky, celebrates 25 years on August 21 with a potluck picnic (the raffle features an iPad!) Congrats to two silver anniversary groups.

Visit one (or both) today!
