Program for February
JoEllen Wollangk, our February quest speaker, has 20 years experience working at the Outagamie
Historical Society in a variety of positions and is now Vice President of the
Better Business Bureau in Wisconsin and Regional Manager for the Northeast
Wisconsin Better Business Bureau Office. JoEllen assists consumers with marketplace problems, assisting in
clarifying whether offers are legitimate or scams, and teaching how to prevent
ID theft. Working with businesses, she
provides them with information about business scams, advising them on ethical
advertizing, and assisting them with applications for the BBB ethics award. She also provides the media by providing them
with input on questionable business activities and scams. The educational aspects of the position are
of a particularly enjoyment to JoEllen.
JoEllen is a lifelong resident of the Fox Valley and a graduate
of University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh with a degree in the long-term study of museums and
their role as an educational mechanism.
This should be an extremely interesting and informative program to one and all. Mark the date on your calender, Friday, 20 February 2012 @ 1:15 PM, and maybe even let your neighbors and friends know about this program. When it comes to protecting our hard earned dollars, we're all in this together.
The January
Meeting was scheduled to have Dan Van Evenhoven, a member of the Radio Shack Organization as our quest speaker. His plan is to speak on GPS (Global
Positioning System) Units and Smart Phones with GPS built into the phone. As always there is a question and answer
period so if there are questions in your mind about GPS, here is a chance for
you to get answers. Due to unforeseen circumstances Dan was not able to speak at the January Meeting, but Linda Young at the last minute was able to enlist Mike Turek as a quest speaker. Mike spoke on the line of Apple products available such as iPhones, iPads, iPods, and of course the Apple Computer. Mike is the President of the MUG (Mac Users Group) here at the Bordini Center and any person wishing to join the users group by attending a meeting, the 1st Wednesday of the Month at the Bordini Center in Room #174. Mike also has his own business providing help with the Apple Products. You can call him at 920.882.0570 or email him at mturek@themachead.com.
