Might the stabilization of our membership base come to mind? Perhaps your contribution to the national recognition of Washington Apple Pi as the leading Apple II and III support center is how you do it. Could it be the interesting and informative monthly meetings we hold? Or, maybe you prefer the special offers from industry that have been made available to you? How about the more efficient support you receive from the office? Perhaps you appreciate the increased national recognition for the valuable contributions Washington Apple Pi is making to the Apple/Macintosh community? Or you like using the new equipment now available in the office? Maybe your measure is the financial stability this administration has brought to the Pi? No matter which ones you select, I, and the directors who have been working with me, have done all of the above to make the Pi more responsive to your needs. It also means that we have repositioned the Pi to take advantage of the new opportunities being offered to the computer user community.

With a decline in member ship, in financial reserves, in our spirit of good will, and in the level of services - for the past four years, now is the time to change our leader ship. Only 3 of 17 from Virginia serve as leaders of the Pi. We sincerely will make your club better! Please help us support Manny and estab lish: 1. Monthly regional Pi meetings - at least one in Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. We have talented members in each region volunteering to lead and coordinate these meetings monthly. 2. Mentoring program for members. 3. Better relations with dealers to obtain greater discounts-real group purchase program for Mac equipment. 4. Monthly garage sales like VMUG, every first Saturday. Call (703) 818-8626. 5. User Group for kids under 17 years. While a Director, he helped: • Organize a Virginia Group (VMUG) which now has greater attendance than Pi general meetings. We meet first Monday, monthly. Call (703) 243-1679. • Bring meetings to Virginia • Eliminate costly elections- now sending ballots in the Journal. • Improve marketing to attract new members, reversing the four-year membership decline. • Increase funding for SIGs/Slices.

Manny De Vera has no current direct or indirect financial interest in Apple Computer or any hardware or software supplier. Leon H. Raesly Clinton, MD Hi, I'm Lee Raesly. Perhaps you have seen me at one of the meetings. I'm the guy with the hat and feather. That's one side of me, the fun loving side. The picture is me helping someone an the Telephone Hot Line. That is enjoyable. Fun is what we should have more of in the Pi: group picnics in the summer, play horseshoes or badminton, better tutorials for all ma chines. I am also the director of a Community Mental Health Center with 5 offices and 23 staff. That is another side of me, the business side. The Pi needs both sides: better fiscal systems, more accountability by the BOD to the membership through a budget! (Did you know the Pi as an organization somehow NEVER got around to a budget in '90 & '91 or '92?) If elected, I will work to correct that and other abuses. 1 will work to have BOD meetings at times all can attend, rather than plan times to exclude two members! I would like to see openness and fun came back to the Pi, and stop this exclusion of some people by the BOD. We need all members! Also for the Pi, I served as the Telecommunications System Operation (TSCO) for 6 years, have taught many tutorials, written close to 100 articles for the Journal, and am currently serving as a Director at Large on the BOD (and have been for about 8 years.) I would appreciate your vote. Financial Disclosure Statement: During the past two years, I have been an associated professor at George Washington University and have taught Apple Computers; I have been a paid consultant for companies and individuals and taught Apple and other microcomputers and to HEW and taught word processing. I have been a "Beagle Buddy," a "7-Hills Ambassador," and a hot-line volunteer. Any income has gone to the Pi or to 7-Hills. I sold Sider hard drives in the past and still handle repair parts for members at cost. I am a founding member and past president of the National Capital Apple Users Group and SYSOP their bulletin board at 868-9554. All Pi members have a free password to this system. I have no financial dealings with the Pi at present and have no concerns with any computer company. For Vice-President-Macintosh Lawrence I. Charters Columbia, MD Washington Apple Pi is much like a clock. Not the modern, electric quartz crystal-controlled clocks found everywhere, but more like the antique hand-wound Seth Thomas that sits on my mantle. The Seth Thomas has elegant, "classic" styling, a nice, steady ticking sound, and a wonderful rich chime, but it works only _if you wind it. Continued next page Page4 1993 Election Insert i!{ The Pi, too, works "only when wound." Without volunteers willing to "wind up" articles, without volunteers willing to "wind up" artwork, there would be no Journal. Without volunteers cranking away to keep the machinery moving, there would be no Pi participation in FOSE, or MacWorld, or other community events. Without a small army of winders (not to mention some watchmakers), the TCS would grind to a halt. Since becoming a member of Washington Apple Pi I have been an active winder and watchmaker, participating in Columbia Apple Slice, writing articles for the Journal, drawing the maps to the monthly meetings printed in the Journal, and serving as the "Mac File Master" on the TCS. During the past year I also served as the Pi's Vice President of Community Affairs, and was appointed a member of the Board of Director's to fill a vacant seat. I decided to accept this nomination simply because someone needs to do the work. Like my Seth Thomas, the Pi works only when wound - and when it works, the chimes are worth the effort. Financial Disclosure Statement: I have no financial or business relationship with any individual or group which could come in confiict with Washington Apple Pi. Jonathan P. Sullivan Arlington, VA I am running for the Board because it is time for a new generation of leadership in WAP. The cur rent leadership, despite its positive contributions, has fallen short in several key areas. Due to the close links that many current Board members have with the rivalries and battles of the past, costs have risen, membership has declined, and the integrity of the leadership has been questioned. A new gen eration of leaders will be free to heal these wounds and place the organization back in the hands of the average member. If you consider yourself an average Pi member, then please vote for me for both Mac Vice President and Director-At-Large, because I have your best interests at heart. Specifically, as a member of the board, I will work hard to restore the integrity of and confidence in the club's leadership, by making it more accessible to all the members, and advocate more strict budgetary practices. I have the experi ence and dedication to make a difference. I hope you will join me in my effort to make Washington Apple Pi a more fun and friendly place for all members. Together we can insure that the Pi will continue to build on its many strengths and not rot from the core. Education: A.B., Dartmouth College, 1990.

Financial Disclosure Statement: I am not currently, nor have I in the past two years been involved in any financial activity which would compromise my leadership position in Washington Apple Pi. I have been employed in the microcomputer industry for the past three years, as a marketing rep, a private consultant, and a network administrator. I hold no stock in any company doing business related to the microcomputer industry. I currently serve on the board of directors of two other Macintosh User Groups.

I currently serve as President of MacLawyers, Inc., a professional non-profit association for attorneys who use Macintosh computers to automate their law practices. Pages ~ 1993 Election Insert For Vice-President-Apple II Tom Vier Reston, VA I have served you on the BOD for three years and through my persistent efforts, WAP's financial health has improved. Those efforts have brought about the first annual budget in years and I have volunteered to again assemble an Audit Committee. We can have a bright future as an indepen dent, fair and open group. As Vice President, I can bring proven effectiveness and organizational skills to revitalizing WAP's Apple II programs and restore our prominence. I am nationally known in the Apple II community - by software authors, hardware designers and users - as a free technical resource and author of numerous articles in national computer publications. Those friendships can add sorely-missed liveliness to WAP's monthly presentations. From my regular attendance at monthly meetings, I see the harm of the non-atten dance by the current Apple VP plus his lackluster programs. I have been an 11-year WAP volunteer; Hotliner; hardware helper; author; TCS Sysop; SIG founder; and a CompuServe, Genie, and User Group Connection Broadcast participant. To reverse our declining membership, we must visibly increase our value to members. WAP should be attracting, for a long-term relationship, the surge in new owners of older Apple IIs. We must replace Apple as a resource for the Apple IIGS. Additionally, all our SIGs and Slices should receive our full support. Let's redouble our efforts to attract members by providing education, assistance, user advo cacy, community service and fun! I have the technical experience, national contacts, and dedication to build a solid Apple II program. Financial Disclosure Statement: During the past two years, I have had no employment and receive no money from the microcomputer industry. I have not received any payments from WAP nor sought reimbursements for my costs involved in my service as a WAP Director and volunteer. For Secretary Grace Gallager Haymarket, VA Hello, many of you may know me from the Election Committee I chaired which ran the Pi Election last year. Actually my time in the group goes back well before that. I have been an active member for the last five years. I am a computer specialist in the Prince William County School System. I teach Apple and Macintosh applications, both professionally to students and teachers, and as a volunteer for User Groups. I actively participate in several Apple II and Macintosh monthly meetings, and helped organize the Woman's Special Interest Group (which is open to women and men with a special interest in computers). I plan to continue attending and participating in all meetings of the Board of Directors and am well aware of the responsibilities of the Secretary of the Pi. I intend to follow the Board of Directors' policy to regularly publish a summary of the minutes of each monthly meeting of both the Board and General Membership in the Pi Journal. In addition, for those interested in "The Rest of the Story," complete minutes will continue to be available in hard copy or to be downloaded from the TCS. I believe that this information does help members to stay informed of the benefits, opportunities, and needs within our WAP user community. Your support is appreciated. Financial Disclosure Statement: I wasn't smart enough to buy Apple stock then and can't afford it now. I do not receive payment from the Pi or any commercial computer-related industry or organization. Page6 1993 Election Insert l!J For Treasurer Charles Froehlich Baltimore, MD The financial position of Washington Apple Pi is brighter today than any time in the past two years because of support I receive from directors at our board meetings. It is with their assistance that the priorities and allocations of funds that constitute our annual budget are worked out. Such a budget was developed and ratified by the membership for this fiscal year and we are living within it. We plan the same for next year. All our obligations are paid on time. Our accounts receivable is smaller now than any time in the last four years. The financial stability for the Pi is a function of many revenue streams. We need to continue to gain members which both broadens the base of support for the organization and provides the mainstay of our revenues. I hope that with a rebound in the general economy and a healthy computer market, we can achieve that goal. Your help in support of recruiting, as well as our ongoing searches for new sources of revenue, will help us succeed. I again look forward to making my experience in tax free government/municipal accounting available to the Pi. Financial Disclosure Statement: I have never had any financial dealings with Washington Apple Pi except to pay my membership dues. For Director-at-Large Tom Witte Alexandria, VA In September 1991, I was asked to fill a vacancy, since then it's been my privilege to serve as a director of this organization. I'm seeking election to continue to support the progress and reforms undertaken by our current president. We're back on track and many great things are happening. I've worked to improve benefits to members, increase membership, improve finances and most importantly, to put fun back into participation. I've enjoyed my participation in the club since 1984. This year I've: • Organized and ran the June and December Garage Sales • Obtained the donation to the club of a Mac Ilci w/color monitor • Responded to over a hundred Hotline calls • Served as Volunteer Coordinator and VP for Administration • Organized and participated in our FOSE and SeniorNet activities • Assisted at WAP's MacWorld-Boston trade show booth • Been a Contributor to the Journal • Helped in club's office over 30 days • Active participant on the TCS; SYSOP of the Volunteer board • Assisted at monthly General meetings • Been active in the HyperTalk SIG I'm aggressively working to make our club a better organization. You can help. First, look past the wonderful words in this ballot packet. Please only Vote for people you have observed doing good, constructive things for the club. We don't need fatuous supervisors, we need dedicated, productive leaders. Second, get involved. There are many opportunities to volunteer that will help a lot. If you can help, call me (Phone number is in Journal). Financial Disclosure Statement: I do not have any financial interest I arrangements that conflict with the interest of the club. I am self-employed consultant. Page7 l!1' 1993 Election Insert Jonathan Bardis Gaithersburg, MD WAP officials must exemplify the service and leadership required of all the volunteers who bring you our activities and programs. The contests before you are not over policies. Simply put, the quality and direction of WAP come from those few who put their values into action, not from pundits. This year, I worked with the President to present you a balanced bud get. We are meeting that goal. I promised no loss of membership; then I spent countless hours on the campaign that has us at over 4000 again. On my motion, the Board formed Women's SIG and solicited an application to form Virginia Slice. We on the Board value forums that meet members' needs. I reviewed our Bylaws carefully and authored improvements, which passed unanimously. I have worked hard with the TCS Committee to bring you the next generation of this service, as we plan more improve- ments for the future. I write for the Journal and repair equipment at the office (both WAP's and members'). It's been a busy and highly constructive year. Be proud of your top officers. Some candidates write of lofty goals, without mentioning they perform no duties. Some use this forum to air specious complaints, which they also air to our patrons and sponsors. Some tell of their importance, then forecast doom if you don't elect them. I ask your vote for those who have worked for their goals, worked to improve WAP, and who offer you more than a story of what others should do. Financial Disclosure Statement: Small stock holdings in Adobe Systems, AT&T, and Western Digital. Bob Shaffer Burtonsville, MD I have served for the past three years as the WAP Vice-President for Macintosh. In addition to planning, coordinating and managing the monthly general Macintosh Meeting I have participated in a number of outreach activities in the community on behalf ofWAP. I have spoken at meetings of the Desktop Publishing SIG and Columbia Apple Slice. I hope to continue serving the members as a director. I hope all members take the time to think carefully about their concerns and how they can use their vote to address them. I urge anyone who has questions to call an officer, volunteer or candidate to get their concerns heard. Since this is a volunteer organization, if you have a special skill, give a call to the volunteer coordinator and help us better serve the membership. Get Involved! I believe that the past year has been a good one for WAP and I have been encouraged by the number of members attending the general meetings. I believe a lot of credit must be given to the president of WAP. The president, in particular, in his unpaid role of volunteer/president has given on an average, in excess of 15 hours per week of his time to this organization and its members. I hope you keep this in mind when casting your vote. Financial Disclosure Statement: I have received no money from Washington Apple Pi or Apple over the past 13 months. I have no direct stock ownership in any computer companies. (I do participate in a MITRE retirement program in which some of my money is invested in the stock market, but I do not know any of the specifics regarding what stocks the management company has invested the retirement monies in.) Page a 1993 Election Insert ~ Timothy R. (Tim) Childers Columbia, MD Hello everyone! I am running for office to give something back to the Pi for all the fun I've had since joining. I've been involved as a User Group officer since I got my first Mac back in 1984 in Sunnyvale, California. When I moved back to the D.C. area I looked for a local group and everyone said the Pi was the one to join. When I went to the Pi with the idea of sponsoring a small group in Columbia they were very supportive. I've enjoyed two terms as president of the Columbia Apple Slice but now that my terms are up I want to get more involved in the larger Pi. If you will vote for me I promise to do my best to make the Pi a rewarding experience for every member and to make board meetings a fun place to work. All in favor of pizza at the Board meetings say Aye! Financial Disclosure Statement: Tim is an engineer at a major Aerospace firm in downtown Washington D.C. and lives in Columbia, MD with his wife and two young sons. He is currently the disk librarian for the Columbia Apple Slice, which is not a Board level position. He does part-time consulting to provide advice and services to individuals or small business to help set up a Macintosh system to meet their needs. He has no other financial interests which would affect his integrity as an officer of the Pi. Anson D. (Bill) Geiger Falls Church, VA I accepted a request to have my name placed on the ballot as a director because I would like to continue the trend away from politics and toward service to the membership, all the membership. I have been a PI member for about 8 years and active in the IIGS SIG. As a hotline volunteer I have helped many people and been helped by others. A retired Navy Captain and Senior Citizen, I graduated from the United States Naval Academy and Stanford. I was a Honeywell Staff Engineer for 15 years and a part time Clinton Computer store employee until about a year ago when I finally quit working for pay. In spite of my age I'm still quite active. I ski, hunt, fish, and play with my computers. I currently use a souped up IIGS and a new Powerbook 160. My grandchildren run a Ile and a MAC Plus. My first computer was an Apple II+ bought in 1980. I am not a "techie" but a pretty good user. I have experienced several "Board's of Directors" and will be a dedicated and honest representative of the membership if elected. Financial Disclosure Statement: I have no connection with any computer type business other than inheriting 100 shares of IBM which now are 1 I3 of their original value. Page9 ~ 1993 Election Insert Dave Weikert Derwood,MD I had the privilege to serve you this past year as Director, Macintosh Disketeria Librarian and as TCS volunteer. As Librarian, my volunteers and I create the Mac Disketeria disks and write monthly Journal articles. You see me behind the Disketeria sales table at monthly meetings and garage sales. I am especially proud of my Disketeria contributions this year, the just completed Mac Disketeria reorganization and new disk-based Mac Disketeria Catalog which gives you timely information about our Mac Disketeria files. Our Disketerias expect to net over $16,000 to offset Pi expenses this year. As Director this past year, I served the President and membership by enhancing financial accountability and member services. I developed our fiscal year budget and am tracking actual revenues and expenditures against the budget. I developed a disk-based Member Directory. I assisted another BOD member in his successful efforts to increase membership. I am conducting the annual inventory of Pi assets. As a result of these collective efforts, the Pi has returned to positive cash flow and membership is up. I want to continue to improve member services and enhance our financial condition. Our greatest challenge this year is to attract additional, committed volunteers to serve the needs of all our members, both Apple and Macintosh. Your vote is important! Support our active volunteers. Look past the candidate's statements; deter mine who actually helps and who attends meetings. Vote for candidates who do more than pass out fliers denigrating the efforts of active volunteers. Financial Disclosure Statement: I have no financial relationship with firms doing business with Wash ington Apple Pi, Ltd. or Apple Computer, Inc. As Mac Disk Librarian, I donate the use of my personal computer and transportation resources, postage, etc. without any remuneration or compensation. I own no stocks in computer companies or in companies making computer related software or hardware. I own some mutual funds that could from time to time have investments in stocks of computer or computer related companies but I have no control of the selection of these investments. I work for a company that provided Macintosh system and applications training support as a minor (less than 1%) part of the business and have a minority ownership in that company. Paula L. Shuck Columbia, MD I am very pleased to accept the nomination to run for the Washington Apple Pi Board of Directors. The Washington Apple Pi is an outstanding organization and I am proud to be a part of it. Over the years I have gained much from my membership in the Pi and feel I should contribute as much of my time and energy in return. I have a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and am employed as a software developer for an engineering company. Prior to this employment I worked for 5 years as an indepen dent computer consultant in the Baltimore-Washington area. My main focus as a consultant was the Macintosh, spreadsheet applications, database development and accounting systems. Computers and particularly the Macintosh have been a hobby of mine since 1986. I have been a member of computer user groups since 1986. I have been an active member of the Columbia Slice and the Washington Apple Pi since 1987. I served as Treasurer of the Columbia Slice for 1 year, and have participated in the Database and Hypercard SIGs. For the past 4 years I have also been a database and spreadsheet volunteer on the Pi Hotline. I am also a member of the Washington Apple Pi's Women SIG. I would very much like to serve on the Board of Directors of the Washington Apple Pi and appreciate your vote.

I hope you have noticed, and like, my changes to the Journal calendar. If you're local, take advantage of the events listed! I decided to investi gate these events myself, so visited all our Slices, and 90% of the SIGs. Several I attend regularly. These groups vary in size, but all are healthy, enthusiastic, and welcome newcomers. I will continue to foster their relationship with the parent organization. Other recent work: participate in our membership drive; help set up Apple II and Mac monthly meet ings; and miscellaneous help with office tasks. BTW- we can use all the help we can get. Please volunteer. Even if you're not local, you can con tribute by writing Journal articles, or help prepare disketeria disks. Recommendations: Current officers, and directors who attended most board meetings, are all dedi cated volunteers, worth re-electing. They worked well together. The president, especially, has worked vigorously to minimize operating expenses, improve services, and maintain contact with industry representatives. Those running against him at one time were positive contributors, but for the last year or so have been inactive, ineffective WAP directors, pre-occupied with other pursuits. Promises made were not kept. PLEASE don't elect them. See February's Journal (p19) for a glimpse of the board's negative opinion of the Apple VP candidate. Call me for details. Financial Disclosure Statement: I have received occasional payments for services to the WAP office, all of which I have donated to the same WAP-related fund as last year. Jonathan P. Sullivan Arlington, VA See candidate statement under "Vice-President-Macintosh" Dana J. Schwartz Laurel, MD I have been a member of WAP since its formation over thirteen years ago, and have participated actively in its subsequent development. I have since been a vigorous proponent of the User Group movement both in the Wash ington area and across the country. I have served WAP as Vice-President from 1982-1984, Treasurer from 1981-1982, Secretary from 1980-1981, Director-at-Large from 1989-1991, and Secretary again from 1991 to the present. From 1984 to 1993 I have been charged by the Board of Directors with the maintenance of the WAP Membership Database and its support software. In 1991 and 1992 I coordi nated WAP activities at the MacWorld Expo in Boston. During the last thirteen years I have had several articles and programs published in national Apple-related magazines (as well as the WAP Jour nal ), and most recently have produced the 'WAPacrostic' series in our Journal. As an Apple Federal Support Coordinator at my workplace I remain in close touch with the Federal User community, as well as with the Apple Computer Federal Systems Group. In both my job and as a representative of other professional organizations I have championed WAP as one of the best sources of unbiased support for the Apple Computer User, and if elected I shall do my best to ensure that the organization remains in that position. Furthermore, I believe that W AP must Continued next page Page 11 i![ 1993 Election Insert strive to maintain its volunteer nature, and that all members should have equal opportunity to benefit from its services.

With respect to Washington Apple Pi, I have served as chairman of the Audit Committee. Based on a review of policies, procedures, accounting and internal controls, the committee issued a report to the President and Board of Directors in February 1991, that contained significant findings and recommen dations for improving the operations of the Pi. If elected, I believe that I can provide both management and leadership skills that Washington Apple Pi needs.

Ken De Vito Alexandria, VA For the past two years I've been honored to serve as your Apple II Vice President. Although 1 still run a number of Apple II's (and always will!), I feel it is time to pass the torch to someone with national recognition who will take the opportunity to rejuvenate the Apple II side of this club by his dynamism and positive, cooperative attitude. I'm really proud of what this club has done in the last two years under the leadership of of our cur rent president. The new TCS and the 'super' meeting location at NoVA Community College are just a few of the visible things that this BOD has accomplished during his tenure-I'm proud to have been an active, participating BOD member during this time. As a Director and BOD member for my third term, I will strive for harmony within the club, and assisting members with their technical problems, and most importantly; having fun with our comput ers. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and the rest of the WAP members for the past two years-I'm looking forward to an even more enlightening third term on the BOD.

I am interested in the role of the computer in educa tion, art, photography, and games. I've been a member of WAP since the early eighties (membership # 647). I joined after deciding to purchase an Apple II and have remained a member ever since. The club has provided me with information and help, as I have proceeded to purchase ever more complex soft.ware and hard ware. This is a good and useful organization. I'd like to see it grow and continue to function as a first rate resource for the Apple community. When time has been available, my family and I have contributed time and effort to the WAP. I have been VP for the Apple II side of things. During that time I organized the Apple II seminars at the main meetings. I have also been responsible for the volunteer component of magazine distribution. I served on the elections committee for several years. I have written reviews, mostly about computer games, and have organized one August meeting on computer games. In addition I have been a member of different incarnations of the education SIG, game SIG, LISA SIG, and others. My son David has chaired the game SIG, and a SIG for young children. My family and I have always taken our commitments seriously. If elected to membership on the BOD, I'll do what I can to help the Pi grow to meet its members changing needs.

Page 13 ~ 1993 Election Insert Jon Thomason Bethesda, MD WAP is an interesting kettle of fish. It's a fun, educational, economical and exciting resource for thousands of subscribers. It's also a lot of work. Unpaid volunteers this year have organized meetings, designed library disks, distributed brochures, streamlined expenses, procured hardware, and RonEvry Woodbridge, VA I have some very specific proposals for WAP to enact whether or not I'm elected: 1. Often people who buy new Macs are given WAP's phone number instead of any genuine technical support by the dealer. I propose that a special six month trial membership package be instituted which can be purchased at a discount price, and that computer dealers who elect to place a certain level of advertising in the JOURNAL be entitled to give these trial memberships free to purchasers of new Macintosh computers. The membership would include use of the TCS as well, benefitting the dealer with a good tie-in for modem sales. WAP would benefit by getting both advertising revenue and an influx of new members (who would, hopefully, maintain their membership on a continuing basis). 2. Local area schools have many Apple II's gathering dust because teachers lack training in their use. WAP has a responsibility to provide organized training programs, seminars, interactive instructional software, and videos for educators. A special category of membership should be instituted for schools and school systems. Participating schools could sign up all of their faculty as PI members (not including the JOURNAL subscription), entitled to attend seminars, buy from the disk library at member rates, and individually join the TCS at the regular rate. Financial Disclosure Statement: I currently produce a commercial program for the educational market, and write articles for A2CENTRAL magazine. I am also the APPLE II disk librarian for WAP.

I have seen many changes both for good and bad in the Pl. I want to help the PI become the type of club it was orginially designed to be. Clubs are where people go to learn and meet with others of the same interest. However, the PI appears to be a political battle ground. Meetings are in out of the way areas. Most PI members reside in Virginia and can not afford to take long saturdays to attend meetings in Maryland. I would like to see the PI return to its club status. I would like to see people having fun and enjoying the meetings. Meetings should be informative without being too long and drawn out. Please help me put fun back in the club by voting for me. Financial Disclosure Statement: I have no financial dealings with the Pi except to pay my membership dues. I do some part-time consulting. Richard Kozloski Fairfax, VA My name is Richard Kozloski. I have been a member of the WAP since 1985 and believe in the rees tablishment of the WAP as a nationally known resource for free Apple support and information. When I first started attending meetings the WAP was known as "one of the premier organizations to contact" to get Apple information. Apple Computer demonstrated their products at our meetings before they were officially released to the general public. Third party developers introduced their products at our meet ings. This the WAP that I will work to return to its members. It's time to return to our place, equal in stature to "those other two clubs" in the eyes of the Apple computer community. I am a Macintosh Computer consultant providing hardware and software installation, training, maintenance, and customization to businesses in the Metropolitan D.C. area. My primary specializa tion is customized HyperCard program development and computerized scheduling and analysis for government organizations. My sideline is computer graphics and illustration. I currently assist WAP members with HyperCard and hardware problems. Financial Disclosure Statement: My company SKIPOLE, Inc. provides services to the government and general public in the Metropolitan D. C. area. Additionally we provide computerized scheduling and high level management assistance to personnel in the Defense and Satellite launch community. All of my income comes from the computer community. I do not believe that any of my activities current or planned affect my ability to perform the duties of Director. If such a situation arises I shall remove myself from voting on that item. Dale Smith Rockville, MD I've been a member of WAP since about 1983. My first computer was an Apple Ile and I now have a Ilgs in addition. I've been an active member of the TCS crew and have been File SYSOP among other functions in the crew. I have a very intense interest in telecommunications, communication programs, and related utilities. I've preformed beta testing for a number of products in this area of interest. We need to support the computers of all our members. This support implies developing user support programs and networking with other groups to give support for machines which many no longer enjoy adequate support from their manufacturers. Programs such as the disk libraries, Journal articles, tutorials, Hotline, etc. can all contribute to this effort. Financial Disclosure Statement: I have no business interests in the computer industry, other than offer ing my services as a beta tester for some software products.

Ruffatto elcome to the Apple Disk Library section of the Journal. As you can see, there is always room for improvement. In this issue there are now Disk Order Forms for the Apple II, Apple IIGS, and the W Apple III. The librarians would like to receive comments pro and con on the new set-up versus the old listing format. Direct your comments to me via the Washington Apple Pi office and I will try to respond to them. I would also like your comments in regard to Public Domain software that you would like to see included in our Disk Libraries. Since we no longer publish the titles ofthe disks in the library, it is advisable to order the Disk Library Catalog Disks for the machine you are using. Each month we will endeavor to provide information on new additions to the libraries or feature disks currently in the libraries. Some of the disks in the Apple Disk libraries contain SHAREWARE. If you use any ShareWare program, please send the ShareWare fee to the author. By submitting the fee, we encourage the author(s) to develop more software.
