Well what can I say, we finally got some rain and my son and I were so thankful we went out and played in it before work and school yesterday........Awesome! I noticed there are several jobs listed on the SCAUG homepage, good to know there is still work out there.

Not too much to report here other than the campus here at S.F.A. is coming back to life with all of the new students walking around with their parents, who by the way look totally scared, knowing there little angels are about to embark on the huge journey of life.

If you want to check out a few neat sites we put up go to our homepage www.crgsc.org and look at some new interactive web apps. So I guess that's it, here's wishing to more rain to come our way and I hope everyone has a great weekend.

What's New in Oklahoma

Happy Thursday GIS Community:

Summer seems to be winding down which means Fall is just around the corner. For many of us in Oklahoma the thought of Fall brings the anticipation of football games, county fairs and the OKSCAUG conference. This year will be no exception. The OKSCAUG committee is hard at work coordinating the 14th annual event scheduled for Tuesday, October 25. This one day conference is a great way for the OKSCAUG members to learn the latest in GIS technology, visit with vendors about new products, catch up with old friends and hopefully make some new ones. We are offering three new workshops this year on October 24 as well as 3 new training courses on October 26 - 27.

We invite all of the SCAUG members to join us for a great conference on October 25. Fall is a fabulous time to visit Oklahoma. For more information about the conference visit our website www.scaug.org
