Megan Fister, CPAUG Manager

Adobe Bridge is one of those programs that you probably installed with your CS4 suite and then promptly ignored.  Now, it's time to fire up Bridge and see what you've been missing! Megan Fister will take you through "Bridge 101" where you'll learn what Bridge is and how you can use it to improve your workflow. 

CS4 Suite Raffle

One lucky CPAUG member will be randomly selected from a raffle to win their choice of one of the CS4 Suites! Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 delivers tightly integrated software and services that measurably improve productivity and enable you to produce richly expressive work in print, web, interactive, video, audio, and mobile.

Everyone who is present will get a raffle ticket but the raffle will include bonus tickets for CPAUG members and a better chance to win:

A) 1 extra ticket for every meeting you've attended and signed-in for since May 2009.

B) 5 extra tickets for bringing a new person to this meeting.

C) 5 extra tickets if you were a presenter at one of our meetings since May 2009.

The fine print: You must be a CPAUG member and you must be present to win and this must not be your first attended meeting. Approximate retail value of the prize is up to $1900.00. CS4 Master Collection is excluded. Maximum 16 total tickets per person. Winner must not have won a CS Suite in the past 12 months.

Please RSVP below or email cpaugManager@gmail.com. Thanks.
