Prez Says for October 2025
Welcome to October, the month of Columbus Day and Halloween with lots of candy and spooky stuff. Plan to attend your local community center’s Halloween celebration for some extra fun.
On October 7th we will have our Tech Corner and General Meeting via Zoom only. Our General Meeting program will be "Annual Security Update" presented by security expert Bob Gostischa live via Zoom from New Mexico. Since October is recognized as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month in the US, this is the perfect time to discuss - 3 Red Flags to Watch Out for in the Most Abused Cybersecurity Scams. After his presentation, Bob will answer your questions.
Do you have questions about one of your computer devices or software? Join us via Zoom at 6:00 PM on October 7th for our Technology Corner. Topics for the October Tech Corner are: AI Image edits, Google settlement, Cheap software, AI settlement, Duck.AI, and Misc.
