You are invited to the next meeting of the Washington Area Computer User 
Group (WACUG), scheduled on Saturday, October 21st from 12:30 PM to 3:30 
PM at the Ruritan Hall, 183 Ruritan Road, Sterling, Virginia. The 
meeting is free and open to the public.  Preregistration is not required 
to attend.

Our October meeting will feature Chuck Roberts discussing the creation 
of a DVD incorporating information of various types to tell a story. 
Each of us has some type of hobby that inevitably includes a collection 
of things. Obvious examples include stamps, coins, yo-yo's, teapots, 
model airplanes, model cars, antiques, quilts, hand-made lace, family 
history facts and so forth. No matter what your hobby is or your 
collection includes, there is someone else (perhaps in your family) that 
is interested in your hobby or collection and would love to learn more 
about the items you have collected.

Instead of simply sending them a few photos of your collection, you can 
put your collection on DVD and provide them with a copy. But instead of 
simply putting several images on a CD or DVD, we'll discuss what makes 
your hobby or collection unique. We'll talk about how to collect images 
of your special items and use them in creating a story of your 
collection.

Your story could include old family movies, interviews with individuals, 
newspaper or magazine clippings. Everyone's collection is unique and 
contains special objects that are interesting or include an interesting 
story about how they were created or how you obtained them. This is what 
what makes your unique collection interesting. Once you have developed 
your story and collected the images, then you can burn the DVD to share 
with others. Once you have mastered the first DVD, you can always "burn" 
additional copies. It's easier than you think.
