Welcome
This group was created to provide a place for practicing .NET developers to expand their knowledge and network with other .Netters, but anyone who is interested in learning more about .Net is more than welcome. The focus of the presentations will be on learning and utilizing the .Net framework to the fullest extent, best practices, and cutting edge programming tools and new technologies.
Elections in October
Elections for Director positions will be held in October. You must be a supporting member to vote or run for one of the director positions. This means you have to have attended at least three out of the last six meetings (inclusive of the Oct. meeting) to vote. If you wish to run for a Director position you must be a supporting member as of the September meeting when nominations will take place. You may nomiate yourself. If you are interested please see our Bylaws for responsibilities and rules. Note that CinARC meetings and CINNUG Special events DO count towards being a supporting member.
Membership drive starting in July through November!
We are having another membership drive starting in July and going through November. The rules are simple:
- For each meeting you attend (CINNUG, CinARC, or special event) between now and November 25th you get an entry to win a prize.

- On November 25th we will draw winners for one or more prizes. Winners must be present to win.
Last year we gave away an Xbox 360! More to come on what we'll be giving away this year. So bring a friend that hasn't come before and hit every meeting you can!
