[Tx-speed] Reminder to Register for May 4 2007 TX SPEEDE UG Mtg, PLUS TACRAO website tip

[David Stones]

TXSPEED Listserv:

We counted 89 registrants as of 4/23, and that is a good number.  We 
will update our meal count this Friday (4/27).  You may still register 
on the TACRAO website (www.tacrao.org).

Note that if you use a Mozilla web browser (like I do), you cannot see 
the submenus (such as for Workshop & Seminars) to get to the 
registration info.  One solution is to borrow a machine with Internet 
Explorer.    Another is to download the "IE-Tab" add-on for Mozilla, 
then right click over the TACRAO menu list to invoke ie-tab.  

See you in Austin.

SPEEDE transcripts continue to work well in Texas, savings thousands of 
dollars and proving faster service to our students.   Come to Austin on 
May 4 for an update or education on electronic college transcripts, the 
newly TEA-approved high school transcript service, related state common 
application deliveries, and the user interactions associated with all of 
these.

Registration should be open later today (4/12) for the May 4 meeting of 
the Texas SPEEDE Users’ Group.   Use the workshops and seminars link on 
the www.tacrao.org <http://www.tacrao.org/> website – but make sure you 
use the 2007 meeting.  Bill Morris will also post a broadcast message.

The registration fee will again be $30, and will include breaks and 
lunch.   Checks should be payable to TACRAO.  They may be mailed to 
Jamie Templeton, Project Manager-Info Tech, Dallas County CC District, 
4343 North Highway 67, Dallas TX 75150.   If you need a printed invoice, 
you should be able to print it from the TACRAO registration pages.  
Checks may also be brought to the meeting.  No credit card process is 
available.

*We need to submit our initial meal counts on April 20*, so a quick 
registration would be appreciated.  If you can certify individuals from 
your campus are coming, but are not yet able to register, please send 
their names to Jamie (jlt1153 at dcccd.edu <mailto:jlt1153 at dcccd.edu>).

The location is again */The Commons Building/*

Thanks.  I hope to see you in Austin.  I also hope not to host a third 
meeting before the year is out.
