ACT! USERS GROUP OF SOUTH FLORIDA WILL HOLD NEXT MEETING ON JULY 7, 2003

Local ACT! Consultant will Demonstrate Free ACT! Enhancement Products

Boca Raton, FL...The ACT! Users Group of South Florida will hold its next meeting on Monday, July 7 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the South County Civic Center, 16700 Jog Road, Delray Beach. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. The meeting is sponsored by Karen Fredricks of Tech Benders. For further information, contact Fredricks at 954-360-9909 or by email at ugsf@techbenders.com.

At this meeting, Karen Fredricks will discuss several ACT! enhancements that ACT! users can utilize. All of the enhancements are free and will enable ACT! users to perform advanced functions that are not available in the basic ACT! software.

According to Fredricks, "I am particularly excited to be able to demonstrate these products for the members of the Users Group. Although ACT! is a wonderful product, users often wish that it could provide even more functionality. People are often not aware of the various free products that were developed specifically for that purpose. I think these enhancements are going to prove to be extremely popular with existing ACT! users."
