I need, no I should say the User Group Community needs, your support. I have
just found out that Adobe will be eliminating Louise Miller. If you do not
know Louise personally she is the person who is the Adobe User Group Program
Manager.

Louise supports both the Mac and PC community. She has represented Adobe as
a partner sponsor for all 3 User Group Universities. As everyone knows Adobe
did not have a presence at MWNY this year, but she continued to show her
support to our community by sponsoring UGU, she had an Adobe UG Leader
Breakfast and the newsletter/ web contest.

If you are the kind of UG member who feels that you do not have a say in
things, please think again. We need all members to write to Bruce Chizen,
Adobe President and CEO, and to Rye Livingstone, her manager, to let them
know that Louise is a vital person at the Adobe Corporation.

This is a very important issue in the MUG community. I need all of you to
just take a few minutes to write these men and let them know that they need
to keep their User Group program in tack and to have Louise head it. If more
and more corporations eliminate UG programs Apple may be next to stop all
support to their groups also.

So I, Lorene, am asking you each to please band together and show support.
Apple can not take an official stand on this issue. But I am not an Apple
employee so I am not bound by their limitations. This is a very important
issue, please do not feel that your voice will not be heard. Please do not
be passive and ignore this, it really is important for us all to show our
support. Pass this on to all of your members, the more who participate the
more visible we become.

Please email ASAP...

Bruce Chizen, President and CEO of Adobe at bchizen@adobe.com

Rye Livingstone at rlivingston@adobe.com

If you are to shy to write a short letter then email me directly and I will
cut and paste you something. Please do not put this off. She may be gone in
3 weeks. They need to hear that their actions will affect you. Platform does
not matter here, it is a matter of community-Lorene
