Announcing the MWLUG 2010 Community Outreach Program

The Midwest Lotus User Group is pleased to announce the MWLUG 2010 Community Outreach Program. This program is part of the MWLUG Conference 2010 to be held in Cleveland, Ohio on August 19-20, 2010. The goal of the MWLUG Community Outreach Program is to raise money for organizations that help the local community. The host Lotus User Group, NEOLUG, has selected the Cleveland Foodbank which provides nutritious meals every year for thousands of individuals and families throughout the Cleveland area.

Hilton Garden Inn - Cleveland Downtown has been gracious enough to provide a gift certificate for deluxe accommodations at their hotel that includes a two-night stay for two plus breakfast in the heart of downtown Cleveland.

The gift certificate will be raffled off at the MWLUG 2010 Opening Session on August 19, 2010. The raffle will benefit the Cleveland Foodbank and help hundreds of individuals who have been hit hard by this economic downturn. Each raffle ticket will cost $10.00 USD.

Registration for MWLUG 2010 starts on May 15, 2010, and raffle tickets can be purchased during the registration process. Members of the Lotus community who cannot attend MWLUG Conference 2010 may also purchase a raffle ticket to help this great cause on the MWLUG 2010 web site. Organizations interested in providing matching funds should contact Barb Skedel at barb.skedel@voxmobile.com
