CCN's First Monthly Social A Success!
About Thirty Chebucto Community Net users packed into Bob and Lori's Food Emporium
for the first CCN monthly social gathering. Regular CCN Users, volunteers and
members of the CCN Board mingled and traded tips and info in the two hour
gathering. The age of attending users ranged from eight months to seventy years.
Judged a success by organizers, the Social enabled members of the Chebucto community
to put faces to oft-read names from email and Usenet and to hear from other people on CCN
how things were going. Your humble correspondent has to report the coffee was quite good
too and recommends that attendees of future Socials held there bring their appetites along
with them.
A date for the next Social has not yet been set. Watch here for more as it comes in.

Old CCN Domain Names Expire!
The old CCN domain names
ccn·cs·dal·ca and
cfn·cs·dal·ca are
being officially retired at the request of our upstream service provider,
the Network Operations Centre at Dalhousie University.
All links and bookmarks to pages and addresses on CCN using these names will
soon no longer work. Changing these links and addresses to
chebucto.ns.ca now will
ensure trouble-free continuing access to them.
Over the next couple of weeks all references to these outdated addresses will
be purged from CCN files and documents including User Profiles.

CCN Call Centre Starts Operation Friday!
A volunteer-operated call centre to help bring in much needed members' donations
will be running this Friday evening and Saturday afternoon (Nov. 20 and 21) and for the
next couple of weekends. Space for the centre
and facilities were graciously donated by Dalhousie University in their Life Sciences
Centre. Volunteers
are still needed to help man the phones
and stuff envelopes. Munchies will be provided as well as other surprises.
Please come on in and help out, we can use a hand here.
