Jim Huse, our new treasurer, arranged last year for us to have a table to promote Tulsa Computer Society at a State Convention of an accounting organization (CPAs, etc), and is in the processes of setting up something where we can help them with an Internet presentation at a meeting they are having on July 25 at the Adams Mark Hotel. There may even be ways we can work even more closely with their group, possibly even forming a Special Interest Group within TCS focusing on the needs of accountants and other businessmen.
Matt Hart, a former TCS member I met at a picnic lunch with CompuServe sysops and also at a couple of VB SIG classes he taught, is co-chairman of Defcon 4, the largest science fiction, comics, and gaming convention in the Midwest, and he has invited TCS to set up a table and give computer and Internet demonstrations at the convention. It will be held at the Adams Mark Hotel on September 19-21. They will give free 3 days guest passes to anyone who works the table.
If you are interested in volunteering to sit at a table and help promote the Tulsa Computer Society at either the Accountant's meeting or the Science Fiction convention please let me know. And if some other group that you are a member of is having a similar convention, and if you feel that TCS has something to offer the attendees at that convention, and if you can arrange a free table for us at the event, let me know that as well.
