Our December meetings are always a chance to network with your fellow designers, bring some treats to share with the group, experience your colleagues showing their work and giving demos of new products or techniques, and...

THE BIIIIIIIIG GIVEAWAY!!!

Twice a year, Adobe bestows some great schwag upon us. It's your choice of ANY Adobe product with a retail value of up to $2,100 -- not including Master Collection. Most people choose a suite such as CS4 Design Premium, Web Premium or Production Premium -- but you might choose just one single "point product" instead if you're the winner.

You've been earning chances for this giveaway as you've attended previous meetings. We've been dutifully collecting your tickets each month and keeping them for this giveaway.

You can earn "extra chances" by doing the following:

• Giving a product demonstration at this December meeting: just a few minutes of demo
• Bringing something good to eat, to share with the group
• Buying extra tickets for $10 each -- we use this money to help pay for the group throughout the year

So -- here's whatcha do. (a) Look through your holiday cookbooks and whip something up. (b) Think of a project or piece of software you've become attached to during the past year, and show us how it works, or what you did, or both. (c) Empty your piggy bank and buy up some extra chances to win.

It will be a great time to relax, reflect, and have some fun for our final meeting of the year. Someone will walk away with a fantastic Adobe prize!

We'll see you then. RSVP on our web site at www.kcdesigncore.org
