Membership Benefits
Monthly Meetings
This is where the excitement begins. On the third Saturday of each month, members of HAAUG meet for a day filled with activities, including presentations by major software and hardware vendors, special interest group (SIG) meetings, public domain software libraries, raffles and much, much more. Swap Meets are held twice each year, in January and July. | More Info.

Software Libraries
HAAUG maintains public domain and shareware libraries for the Apple II, Macintosh and Newton systems. HAAUG also distributes system software for the Macintosh (7.0.1 and earlier), Newton and all Apple II series computers. HAAUG has been designated by Apple Computer to be the Central United States Repository for Apple II Software.

We update and catalog the libraries constantly. Copies of software in the library are ordered by members during the monthly meetings, for a nominal duplication fee this software will be placed on disk and delivered to the member.

Bulletin Board System & Internet Link
HAAUG Heaven is our 24-hour meeting place with several gigabytes of downloadable software, helpful information and discussions on all topics of computing, all accessible at rates from DSL speeds down to 33,600 bps.

Lots of Fun & Friendships
HAAUG is a not-for-profit volunteer group founded in 1978, three years before there was an IBM PC. Approximately 700 members enjoy the benefits of HAAUG. We range from beginners to experts, but we all know the secret to making our computers more valuable - a HAAUG membership.

Any problems you might run into, no matter how seemingly difficult, has likely been solved by another member. Members also have a lot of fun and make lots of friends while learning, sharing and growing.

Volunteering with HAAUG
Get the most of your HAAUG Membership by volunteering.
HAAUG is an organization run entirely by volunteers, from the President on down. Much work is done by elected members such as the Officers and Directors. Often even more visible work is done by members who have been appointed to positions. And other folks just help out where they can. The more of us that are working for the organization, the more HAAUG can offer.

There are Board positions open and waiting to be filled. | Learn More.

Volunteering Opportunities
During the monthly meetings, assistance is usually needed in these areas:

• Membership Desk - greet new and potential members, answer questions about the club, take applications, help people get where they're going, etc.
• Setting up before the meetings - computing is an equipment-intensive sport.
• Presenters, SIG Leaders, PD Librarians, and those who keep and store HAAUG property have to haul the equipment to and from their vehicles every month. Help is always appreciated with this, setting up, and tearing down. If you can, be at the meeting place before 10:00 AM on Saturday and look for folks toting boxes and looking busy.

If you can help in one of these areas, if you see a need within HAAUG that you'd like to help fill, or if you are helping now and want to add to what you do, remember that there are often other jobs that can be done by members with the right talent.
