III.	Other Business

             - Ithaca College holds a Computer Expo every year.  Karen 
Todd from Apple suggested we contact the Ithaca Computer Expo committee 
and go over their organization plan.  They began much like we did and now 
they hold a semi-professional Expo every year!  There is hope!  
- Our budget allocates $300 for trips.  This may be used for this kind of 
trip.

he   will sponsor members to go.  More details next time.

moment.

involved.  Give out software that was given to us by Apple.
