May 25 meeting was great! But let's make the next one EVEN BETTER!

Kirsten Womack's presentation was wonderful last evening about how to clean out your PC and get it running the way it is supposed to.  However, we missed a lot of our members at last night's event. Since I'm helping the TechPOWR team get people to our events, I'd like to get some of our members thoughts on what would make these meetings even MORE valuable than they already are.  We are getting ready to set up the August meeting and we need your feedback. Ladies, any thoughts on what interests…See More

We work hard to develop our content on our website, in our profiles and on our blog and unfortunately there are people out there that will take it and claim it as their own. Don't let this happen to you. Recently a close friend found the content from her online profile on the profile of someone else.
