Macintosh Users Groups (MUGS) help both new and experienced users to get the most from their Macintosh computers and provide a social atmosphere and network for Macintosh users to connect with each other. The Villages MUG, over three hundred strong and growing, has programs in help with Basic Mac Skills, presentations about popular software applications, experts on hand in many fields to offer individual help, Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for small group interaction and learning, and great refreshments at every Wednesday meeting. Every third Tuesday of the month at 12:30 p.m. small group sessions are offered in Mac basics and other problems members may have. This is an informal session, based mostly on the questions of the attending members. The club's structured meeting to do business and learn new skills is every fourth Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. Meetings open with announcements, then move to a presentation by a club member or visiting expert. Some upcoming programs will be on iWorks, iPhoto, computer graphics, and Print Shop. Following the formal program is a question and answer session with the audience and expert members. Raffles and refreshments enliven a social time to finish out the evening. We invite all Macintosh users and any others with a curiosity and interest in Macintosh computers to our meetings. All meetings are held at Saddlebrook Recreation Center in The Villages, Florida.
