Hello Everyone!
Here is your official invitation to sign up for the Ohio Indiana Northern Kentucky (OINK) Visual Users group meeting to be held at Novae Inc. Inc. in Markle, Indiana on November 11th. Note that we are also inviting the Michigan user group to attend as well as they will be (barely) within traveling distance as well as the Chicago user group. You do not have to be a member to attend. Do bring your business cards to exchange with others and to throw in the ‘bowl’ with your suggestions for future topics (and yes, I do scrape your suggestions off the registration web site, attribute them to you, to place in the ‘bowl’).
Registration Link for the meeting:

Please reserve your place so we have an accurate nose count for donuts, coffee and lunch.
There are all kinds of hotels 15 miles North of Markle in Fort Wayne off of Interstate 69. There are enough places to fit all pocket books as well as restaurants and donut choices. Locals say that the hotel in Markle is not that great.
Also, Infor is having a webinar (with Rich Lagoy hosting) on the Synoptix reporting tool. Follow this link to register: Microsoft Virtual Events Powered by Teams
If you have any questions, please drop me a line at the >NEW< OINK email address at OH.IN.NKY.UG@gmail .com.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on November 11th!
