Q: Who can attend MacDinner 10.2?
Anyone! Come on down and enjoy the fun! MUGs make it easier to Max you Mac and learn what works best for you. Demonstrations, presentations, tech support and lots more. This event celebrates many groups coming together at a very exciting time for all Mac using people! If you are bringing a "switched" person who was formerly using a PC, let us know! Back to the top

Q: Suppose I make a reservation and have to cancel?
If you cancel by 6 a.m., Monday, July 15, 2002, we will refund your money. Because this event is being catered, food must be ordered and a final head count provided early on. If you are uncertain that you can attend you can wait until a date closer to the 15th to make your reservation, but if we have reached capacity we will not be able to accommodate you. All sales will be final and there are no refunds for "no shows." Also, if you cannot join us, you might consider contributing your money towards the host MUG who has put so much time and effort into this event. Just let us know, please. Back to the top

Q: But suppose I have an emergency and have to cancel AFTER July 15th?
We will attempt to fill your seat with someone on our wait list (if we have one). Unfortunately, we cannot offer you the security of a confirmation without SOME risk. We implore you NOT to make a reservation if you have ANY fear that you might have to cancel. You'll not be at financial risk, but you might not be able to attend. Back to the top

Q: Do I need to bring anything to MD10.2 other than my printed confirmation e-mail?
Please bring your confirmation notice; it will help us process everyone expeditiously. If you misplace your confirmation (sent by e-mail), you can reprint it. If you forget to bring your confirmation we will admit you with ID. In addition, and in the spirit of the community, you may bring up to sixty (60) of your MUGs printed brochures to distribute at the dinner. We will also have other give-aways and door prizes as part of our big event. Back to the top

Q: What's a MacDinner like?
Okay, so this is more like a "bruncheon" or "luncheon," but the idea is the same. Each MacDinner is unique in some way. You'll be able to meet interesting people with a common interest. You'll be entertained and informed--our guests ALWAYS have something to share with us. Considering the fact that vendors who support user groups year-round support the MacDinners, we will have vendor literature available which describes new or interesting products, some of which we will be giving away as prizes or gifts to those deserving. Meet MUG leaders, Apple staff and just enjoy meeting some of the faces that go with the names. This MD is also just after MacWorld Expo NYC 2002 so look for some of the latest and greatest from the show! Back to the top

Q: I've never been to a MacDinner but it sounds like fun. I don't know anyone. Will I feel comfortable being a stranger?
You won't be a stranger for long. MacDinners are festive occasions and we've never known anyone to feel uncomfortable for more than a few minutes. Simply TELL us you are "a stranger" and we'll introduce you to someone who will take you under their wing. This is a diverse and interesting group from all walks of life and there's always something for everyone! Back to the top

Q: How do I make my check out for MacDinner?
You can make your check payable to: "Alice Larson d/b/a MacWaves." Alice is the head of MacWaves who's organization is underwritten by BCUG of NJ.
