The NEPUG needs your help. We are starting a fund raising drive to help cover the cost of a Palm Presentation system, as well as other cost we will encounter in the future. We really need a Palm Presentation device, such as the Margi Presenter-to-Go or the Portsmouth Pitch. These systems dramatically improve live demonstrations. However, it will cost aprx $250. to acquire one of these units. So we are asking for your help. If every member of the NEPUG makes a donation of JUST $10 (or more), we would have enough funds to purchase this unit and cover our anticipated expenses for the near future.
