The April meeting of the mass e-mail user group (MEUG) is Friday, April 17. This month, Sarah Bjorkman from Extension joins us to talk about her experiences in Extension with mass e-mail and rolling out Lyris for their units communications. We're glad to have yet another speaker in to talk about their experiences, the good, the bad, and lessons learned in planning and executing a rollout for a large unit. We should have ample time for questions and discussion.

We'll have some short topics and announcements following Sarah's presentation and open discussion after that. It's a great opportunity to learn from and network with others working with mass e-mail.

The meeting details are:
    Friday, April 17
    Morrill Hall room 238A
    2-3:30 p.m.
    some treats provided

If you're on a coordinate campus, we can set you up with a conference call and UMConnect so you can participate. Send us an e-mail at ecomm@umn.edu by noon on Thursday, April 16 so we can get you connection information.

We don't have an agenda for May's meeting yet, but invite all of our users to present. The best feedback we've had has been for presentations offered by units who have shared details of their implementation and experiences with others. Even if you've had a bad experience, we can all benefit from that knowledge.
