Marjorie Kaye posted a discussionUX Book Club needs help!
Hi guys,I need some help! Had a bit of a respiratory ICU near-death thingy the last couple of weeks, I'm gonna be fine, but I'm going to be taking it very very slow for the next few months. I have a location at a start-up incubator called Boxador in West Hollywood scheduled for June 13, but I'm going to need someone to jump in and take over if you still want to meet. There's really not much to do, just need to pass off the contact info. Volunteers?See More

AUGUST SELECTION
Hi UXers,
Here's a Link to our August Selection.
I'll be assisting Nuzi with the organizing duties for the group. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, so please get in touch with your suggestions, and encourage your friends and co-collaborators to attend. We're hoping to do something special for our August location, we'll be nailing down a date and providing details shortly.
Much thanks to Sarah for her splendid leadership, and congratulations to her and her family as they look forward to a new arrival :).

UX Book Club LA is staying on Ning, donations welcome.
I don't know if some of you heard about Ning changing from a free to a paid service, but I wanted to let everyone know that I decided to go ahead and pay to keep our group here. Ning isn't perfect, but it's the best home we've had so far. And since we've had so MANY homes over the last year and a half, I thought it was also worth something to not worry about migrating everyone yet again.
So if you feel like helping a club organizer out, a small donation from each of you at our next few meetings would be really appreciated to help defray the $200/year cost. Thanks a million, and happy reading!
