2nd Annual Ukrainian Christmas

Hi folks,

I would like to thank all of you that made the 2nd Annual Ukrainian
Christmas a success!

The food was great, the camaraderie was heartwarming and the only
thing missing was the horiwka from the snow bank, although at first I
thought we had that when I saw the water jugs on the tables!

This Sunday, a few of us are getting together to do a bit of a
postmortem or a lessons learned if you prefer the managerial twist.
This will be an ongoing process, and we will have another meeting
towards the end of February. However, I know this is a short
time-frame, but could we get some feedback from you by tomorrow?
This is what we would like to know:

1) What did you like about the way it was done this year?

2) What changes, improvements would you like to see?

3) Would you like to be on the committee for next years celebration?

Cheers,

Ted

NeoOffice / OpenOffice

SAVE MONEY! Do I have your attention?

I think that there are a number of you out there that do some computer work at home and have need from time to time, for a full blown suite of office products, but cannot justify the cost of Microsoft Office, or are just morally opposed to giving Bill Gates any more money!

This is where NeoOffice / Open Office come in.

NeoOffice/J is a full featured office productivity suite including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing, database, and macro functionality. It can be used as a free alternative to Microsoft Office:Mac. You can exchange documents with Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org users, even on other platforms!

Here are a list of the Features:
