The holiday season is upon us! It always seems to me that people get so busy they forget to enjoy the season. Everyone is hustling around trying to get shopping done for the special people in their lives and many seem to forget that the gift isn't as important as the time we spend with friends and family, simply showing that we care.

Since I have been president of ICON, it seems that I spend most of my time coordinating our meetings, making sure we have meeting space, getting equipment moved and set up, etc. I barely have time to sit and enjoy the programs and/or the many friends I have made by being a member of such a fine organization. There are many who work behind the scenes to make sure ICON continues providing the help you need with your computers. Without exception, their enjoyment is in helping others, so please make time to attend ICON'S meetings and SIGs during this holiday season, and be sure to share this special time of year with us.

Don't miss ICON'S meeting on December 20. We'll have coffee and spiced cider for refreshments, Nancy will have a great program for us, and our help stations will be set up around the room. After all, just because 'tis the season," and everyone is busier than usual, many of us will still have computer related questions. After the meeting, we will have our Christmas dinner and party at Old Country Buffet. If you haven't purchased your ticket yet, be sure to do so right away. I would hate for Santa to be short of gifts for all of the good ICON "girls and boys."

I sincerely hope that each of you has a safe and wonderful holiday season and that all your Christmas wishes come true in grand proportions. Merry Christmas!

Happy Computing
Terry
