We would like to invite your MUG to become a member of IMUG, the International Macintosh Users Group we hope you are interested in helping contribute to this historic effort.
The International Macintosh Users Group has been formed to facilitate the distribution of Macintosh User Group tools and information between Macintosh User Groups internationally and create a method of interaction between all Macintosh User Groups.
International Macintosh Users Group (IMUG) goals include:

Macintosh Users Groups world wide.

to all Macintosh Users Groups. Such services will include creating a pool
of resources from all IMUG members, distributing a catalog of available
tools and providing a central ordering point. Items of interest will
include MUG library selections, newsletter articles, newsletter sharing,
MUG CD's, special MUG discount programs, ideas for fund raisers, training

Macintosh products that benefit the User Group community and more.
