What is a User Group

I have been putting up flyers around town about the upcoming "Elevate" user group meeting and I have had a lot of people ask me "What is a user group". I thought I would offer some kind explanation here.

User Group meetings are usually public meeting/events that are focused on a topic. Usually they are computer topics. People come together at these meetings and learn more about the topic. There is usually someone giving a presentation and maybe even demonstration.

The user group (Elevate) that I'm trying to start will focus on computer skills. Such as using Word or maybe surfing the internet, etc.. I'm looking at these meeting as an educational event. A way of sharing computer information. It is my hope with this first meeting that we can come up with a list of topics to cover at future meetings.

To see a definition of the word "user group" on Wikipedia web site, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_group.

I hope this helps some.

I'm looking forward to seeing you at the first Elevate user group meeting
