The DFW HP/Mercury User Group meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 4:30 PM. Traditionally we have skipped July and December. There is a “members-only” dinner meeting in October.
Guests are welcome to attend one or two meetings. However, we expect you to join if you plan to attend regularly.
If you would like to join, simply attend a meeting and pay the $10 dues. Your membership expires two years from the date you paid your dues.
Here is the schedule of events for the DFW HP/Mercury User Group for 2011.
