The HAPCC has two kinds of
meetings. Firstly the regular Sunday night meeting which most
members attend regularly, secondly the monthly (approximately)
planning meeting which organizes the business of the Club,
including what happens on the Sundays. The planning meeting is
held on Monday, a week after the regular meeting in which all
members of the Club are urged to attend. At the planning meeting,
we discuss feature speakers for regular meetings, finances,
membership, training, and other computer related subjects.

We decide the meeting dates for the
upcoming year at the last planning meeting of the season. The
dates for these are listed below. As in previous years, the
December meeting is moved to the early part of January due to
Christmas Eve being near the fourth Sunday of the month.
The planning meetings are normally held on the second Monday (8
days) after the general meeting. They are currently held at a
members home and the address is announced at the meeting prior to
the planning meeting. Anyone is welcome to assist in the planning
of future meetings or events.
Dates for the meetings starting in September are based on the
LAST Sunday in each month. Note that this is a change from
previously, when we met on the fourth Sunday.
Meeting dates for the 2000/01 season:
October 25, November 29, January 3, January 31, February 28, March 28, April 25, May 30, June 27.
Note: There is no meeting in December. Remember also, we are now
using the LAST WEDNESDAY of the month, except for the exceptions as noted above.
Any changes to the scheduled dates will be announced where possible at the regular monthly meetings
and/or in this newsletter.
