An AS400/iSeries User Group That Is Still Kicking

Published: November 3, 2008

Hey, TPM:

My name is Anthony Leach, Sr., and I am one of the organizers of our AS400/iSeries user group. We used to be called the Sacramento Midrange User Group or SMUG. We are now the Power Sacramento Users Group or Power SURG.

We have been around for quite some time now and recently renamed ourselves to better reflect the changes to the platform. We have regular meetings at least three times a year and thanks to IBM's generosity, we hold these at the IBM offices in Sacramento. And anyone who is interested is welcome to attend and join up!

I guess after reading the article about another group closing down, I just wanted to let everyone know that there are still AS400 groups around, we just go by a new name, just like our beloved system!

Thanks for listening!

Anthony L. Leach, Sr., Power Sacramento Users Group--Power SURG
