Even though SCOUG's (Southern California OS/2 User Group) main event in September
is Warp Expo West (http://www.scoug.com/warpexpowest/),
they have some other events going on this month.
Monday, September 20, 7 PM PDT meetings at Heritage Christian High School in
Anaheim:
SCOUG holds a Help Desk chat every Monday of the month except one --- and that's
when the in-person Help Desk happens. Bring your computers and questions to Heritage
Christian High School on Sept. 20th for hands-on help with your system. (More on
the Help Desk chat later)
This month's Networking SIG will be a Help Desk-type session as a follow-up to
Warp Expo West. If you have any network-related issues that need resolving, this
is the meeting for you. Bring your computer(s) and/or specifics on your problems
and needs and we will get you up and working before the night is out.
If you live in the Southern California area and can help out, by all means come;
we anticipate a larger than normal turnout since this month's in-person Help Desk
and Networking SIG is 2 days after Warp Expo West.
Thursday, September 23, 7 PM PDT meeting at Heritage Christian High School:
Join the Sundial SIG at Heritage Christian HS for a look this month at the Clearlook
word processor. For more information about the Sundial SIG, contact SIG leader Sheridan
George at sheridan@scoug.com.

in-person Help Desk) at 7 PM (Pacific Time), the Internet SIG via IRC Wednesdays
at 7 PM (Pacific Time), and the Warp Systems Chat Saturdays at 8 AM (Pacific Time).

How to get to Heritage Christian High School:
The Heritage Christian High School in Anaheim is at 2530 W. La Palma Ave. It
is on the south side of La Palma Ave. (about 200 ft. E of Magnolia) on the Grace
Baptist Church property. There is a 2-story office building close to La Palma Ave.
with the address of 2528 up near the roof. Turn in (south) there. Drive all the
way to the back and park along the chain-link fence. NOTE: There is a lot of freeway
construction north of the school on I-5 and the 91 freeways; some on/off ramps may
be closed and/or have detours. Check the SCOUG web site (http://www.scoug.com)
for updates and leave yourself plenty of time to reach the high school.
