Recruiting Contest - Awesome prizes!

About CapMac

In July of 2003 Capitol Macintosh will turn ten years old. That's right, a solid decade of helping Austin's Macintosh users get the most from their Macs! Read our original press release for a trip down memory lane!

New iPod To help celebrate the occasion (and to help spread the word about CapMac) we're having a recruiting drive for new members. There's prizes for recruiters and new members alike. Check out the awesome prizes below, read the rules, and start telling everyone you know about the benefits of CapMac! Winners will be announced at our July 10 meeting.

It's easy to participate! Tell your friends, family, coworkers, and anyone else you can think of about the benefits of CapMac. Send them to our forums for free help, and encourage them to come to a meeting and meet Austin's friendliest Mac users. They can join online or using a paper application - but be sure to remind them to include your name as the member who referred them!

NOTE: To protect our treasury, a minimum of 15 new members recruited by all members must be achieved for grand prize to be awarded.

The contest only lasts 60 days so start evangelizing CapMac now. On July 10 you might be the one who walks out of our meeting with a brand new Apple iPod!
