The "SWLAPCUG” consists of people who are interested in learning and sharing their knowledge about computers, in particular IBM compatible microcomputers.

The first SIG (Special Interest Group - a small group meeting to learn about a particular program, etc.) starts at 5:30 PM and the General Meeting at 6:30 PM. Dues are $24.00 per year, per family. The money is used to deter operating expenses and print a monthly Newsletter.

Our Newsletter is a combined effort of members passing on their knowledge about computers. The minutes of the last general and board meeting are also published.
