Autumn greetings to everyone. I hope all of you are well and enjoying your computers. I had a great time at the picnic. I want to thank all who helped make it a success. When we work together, there is nothing we can't accomplish.

Change is inevitable in our lives. Summer gives way to autumn and old gives way to new in the world of computer technology. I've been thinking about how much ICON has grown and changed in the last couple of years…with the addition of two new SIGs, a complete re-work and upgrade for our web site including the addition of a calendar and ICON'S very own "Members' Forums." We also added to our equipment with the purchase of two laptop computers and the new public address system. Along with our long-standing outreach through St John's seniors program, ICON also provides volunteer support at "The Edge Community Technology Center." I am very proud of our organization; we can do great things in the community if we set our minds to it!

What would you like to see ICON accomplish? If you were our leader, where would you like to see the organization go in the future? What would you like to see us do better, or different? I see my job as an officer as trying to help ICON grow, and enabling whatever programs and training that you, the members want. Be sure to read Sarah Marshall's report on the results of our recent online survey elsewhere in this newsletter. It does make a difference when you participate.

Happy Computing
Terry
