Twice-yearly raffle for Adobe Software
To encourage people to join and participate in the local user groups, Adobe allows each user group to raffle one Adobe software package valued up to $2100 twice a year. The Austin Adobe User group holds the drawings at the June and December meetings. All members who are present at the drawing are eligible to win their choice of an Adobe product that retails for up to $2100.
How to increase your chances to win
- Attend the meetings. You must attend at least one meeting before the drawing to be a member and be eligible for the drawing. Each meeting you attend increases your chances.
- Do something that benefits the group - review a book, give a presentation, or contribute in another way. Giving a presentation at a meeting gives the most "bonus" tickets. (Note: one of the two group managers often gives presentations; but as a manager he is not eligible for this drawing)
If you want to volunteer and earn extra tickets towards the raffle or have any questions, contact Donna Blumberg, austinadobegroupmgr@gmail.com.
