Hi, Buck! Thanks for the welcome! Looking forward to attending my first meeting tomorrow night, if I can navigate through all the snow! :)

So, Buck, do we bring our own computers tonight, or is it a collaborative effort to design one logo, or what? How does it work?
Thanks,
Jody

Hi Buck. It was terrific meeting you, Dee and the others Thursday night. Seems like a great group of inquisitive and knowledgeable professionals at varying points on the learning curve (or curves!). Great environment, great people, great content — what more could you ask for?

See you at the next one, for sure.

It was great meeting all of you - very chill group! Special thanks for the hummus which I dominated (sorry, one of my favs and I enjoyed to max) I look forward to seeing all of you again.

All I can say is "Thanks" I think I can find some that are doing things in technology that I would like to meet. A lot of people still do not know or care about when I say "www.com. Still going to a physical place and they say www.com. i know that my mom does not know what they talking about. I ask for the physical address. Not trying to be smart.

Our group was founded in 2007 as one of four official Adobe groups in Kansas City. We're designers, developers, digital photographers, freelancers, producers, in-house corporate marketing types, and interested students of all ages — focusing mostly on visually-oriented products in the entire Adobe Creative Suite with a strong emphasis on Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Fireworks, and Flash. NO program is off-limits, though...if it's visual, we'll talk about it!

We meet on the FIRST THURSDAY of every month at JCCC (12345 College Bvld., Overland Park, KS 66210) on the 2nd floor of the Regnier Technology Center next to the new museum. Check the monitors in the hallways for exact room location as it changes monthly.

Our primary local sponsor, TEK Systems, provides our members with plenty of Kansas City-based employment opportunities for user experience designers, ActionScript coders, and other positions in contract and contract-to-hire positions. They are a generous sponsor of our group and have been for many years.

Adobe provides us with great presentations, speakers, and prizes. If you're a regular participant in our group, you're very likely to take home some fantastic goodies. Twice a year, we are authorized to give away an entire Adobe Creative Suite package (CS5.5 Web Premium, CS5.5 Design Premium, CS5.5 Production Premium) valued at up to $2,100. Throughout the year we have books, t-shirts, software, and evaluation items for our members...these giveaways are based on your attendance and participation.

Whether you're just starting out with the Adobe Creative Suite or you're an experienced designer, we look forward to welcoming you to our community. It's a lot of fun and nobody walks away empty-handed!

(Due to the proliferation of spammers and scammers, we've had to resort to approving new members on an as-requested basis rather than letting Meetup auto-join new people. To join our group, we ask that you please use a "real" name and a "real" photo of yourself -- our group is composed of real people, not flowers, pets, or abstract designs. Thanks for your understanding!)
