Special Member Drawing - Six Chances To Win !! Don't miss this - Double your chances to win by renewing now !! Plus similar doubled chances for new members!
Hurry - the "winning window" closes on February 24th!
Every member of NCTCUG whose membership is paid through March 2010, will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win one of three subscriptions, to be held at the group's general meeting on March 3rd. You do not have to be present to win. New members since January, 2010, and members who renew their membership to run beyond March of 2011, will be entered in a second drawing on March 3rd, for a chance to win one of an additional three subscriptions.
NCTCUG has received three free subscriptions, in addition to three already earned, from Sandhills Publications, which we'll be distributing to our members by a series of random drawings. Sandhills is ending their program where user group members earned points towards free subscriptions for their group when they subscribed to any of four magazines from the same publisher. These gift subscriptions can be used for a new subscription or to extend an existing subscription to one of Sandhills' magazines (Smart Computing, Computer Power User, First Glimpse, PC Today.).
All memberships and renewals submitted for entry in these six drawings must be received by the Internet SIG meeting on February 24th. Eligibility for drawings will be determined by the keeper of the NCTCUG membership database. If you win, and are already a subscriber, your subscription will be extended for an additional year. Winners will be ineligible for subsequent drawings in this series of six, selected at random by computer.
Memberships and renewals ($25 per year) should be sent to NCTCUG, Inc., 201 S. Kensington St., Arlington, VA 22204-1141, and should be accompanied by a copy of the group's membership form, available here: http://www.nctcug.org/#join
