Hello members:
We had another great meeting last night. George Kopp gave us tips and tricks (some from Joe Mertzlufft), Apple updates, as well as what we need to know about MacOS 26. And - now is the time to upgrade (we are at 26.1, so you don’t need to say no to .0 any longer).
Tasty snacks were provided by Rhonda Kuhlmann, Charlene Earley, Ann Lane, and Julie Koenigsfeld. We had yummy apples to dip in carmel along with pretzels and other treats.
In the second half of the meeting, your officers shared some of their favorite gadgets to add to your Christmas list.
Door prizes were won by:
Apple Gift Card - Julie Koenigsfeld
Bag - Rhonda Kuhlmann
Stuffed toy - Kathy Mills
Journal - Charlene Earley
Pen - Keith Mayor
Cup - Bruce Heerboth

Wow! We had a group of 34 at our meeting last night and so far there have been over 135 views of the video on Facebook! It’s great to see so much interest in learning all the new features of Apple’s operating systems. And, Jason Piper did a great job. I’ve seen a lot of speakers in my day and he is top notch. Plus, the members had some great questions.
Joe Mertzlufft’s and George Kopp’s tips as well as George's Apple updates about the new devices were particularly informative.
You can view the slides as well as the videos on our new website: https://sites.google.com/view/applejacusers/home
George has spent a lot of time building this website and we are so grateful. He took us on a tour of it, which you can also see in the video.
At the break, Jeri Davis’ Moon pies were delicious as well as the Gardetti snack mix that Alice brought and the Chips Ahoy and pretzels that Kathy Mills added. Special thanks to Jeri for making some gluten-free moonpies for those members who have dietary restrictions.
Prizes were plentiful (thanks to Letha (and Tom) Piper). Here they are:
Tom Vaughn: Retractable USB/Lightening cord
Sue Hilkemeyer: Notebook
Julie Koenigsfeld: Apple Gift Card
Sue Snell: Bag and goodies from Parallels
Eunice Straub: mini tri-pod
Congratulations to all!
Enjoy October and hopefully we’ll have some cooler weather.
Best,
Peggy Landwehr
