Group News...

Change of Officers. Effective Nov. 13, 1995, LA Fox has a new president. Chuck Williams, president of the group since its formation years ago, and one of the outstanding contributors to both the growth and stability of the group, stepped down due to growing committments outside of the group. The LA Fox Board of Directors appointed Barry Lee, former Vice President of the group, to fill the void. Bill Anderson was appointed to Vice President. The remainder of the board remains the same, including Chuck Williams, who becomes President Emeritus, the first in LA Fox history to hold that position. LA Fox owes a great deal to Chuck.

(Ed. Note: For people new to LA Fox, a word of explanation might be in order. LA Fox is run completely by volunteers, known as the Board of Directors. The group has no constitution, per se, and is completely supported by member dues, with no outside subsidies for equipment, newsletter expenses, speaker fees, meeting places, etc. Virtually any current member may volunteer to be on the Board. Once a member expresses interest in being on the Board, the Board will then approve or disapprove the member’s appointment to the Board. The Board is responsible for the general functioning of the group, as well its general direction, coordination of activities related to the group, and the appointment of officers.]

Submit an article to the editor (me) for inclusion in either newsletter. (Editor reserves the right to edit or offer constructive comments concerning submitted articles and accepted articles shall be considered to be in the public domain.) Articles are then ZIP’d as individual Word documents and forwarded to user groups all over the country, including the Rocky Mountain Fox User Group (RMFUG - Doug Sherman) and the Milwaukee Association of FoxPro Developers (MAFD - Whil Hentzen). During the recent FoxExpress DevCon, in Las Vegas, several more newsletter editors were added to this “exchange program”, so that now anyone submitting an article to either newsletter (OC or LA) has pretty good chances of also
