We had a great visit from Microsoft at the October general meeting! Rita Oates shared some of the highlights of MS Office 2003, the newest version of the popular office suite. As we have all come to expect from Microsoft, Rita had lots of very nice door prizes, including several copies of the pro version of the office suite, an mp3 player, and an X-Box (the ultimate game machine)!

ICON'S October 25th SIGS, were held at The Library Station, the newest addition to Springfield's library system. If you haven't visited this facility, I highly recommend that you make time to do so. It is located at 2535 N. Kansas Expressway, between Kearney St. and I-44. You can get there from the south side of Springfield by taking U.S. 65 north to I-44, west to Kansas Expressway (exit no.77), then south on Kansas a few short blocks to The Library Station (located on the west side of the street). Watch for the sign, or follow your nose to Panera Bread Co. The theme for this branch of our library is transportation, and it is as beautiful as The Library Center. ICON is grateful to be allowed to use the facilities provided as a public service by the Springfield-Greene County Library District. (Online Editor's Note: Map to Library Station)
