CHUG Charlestown User Group

Co-Leader Ann MacKay
Co-Leader Hope Tillman

The Charlestown User Group or CHUG is a community technology group for residents who use Apple, Windows, or Android devices. Whether you have a computer (Mac or Windows), iPhone or iPad, Android phone, or Fire tablet, CHUG offers a place to learn and share. 

Ann MacKay started the Apple Charlestown User Group in March 2013 to offer monthly programs geared to Apple devices. Hope Tillman, a co-leader with Ann, started basic hands-on help with a Technology User Group for beginners and novice users of both Apple Mac/iOS products and PC/Android products. CHUG is both a registered Apple user group for residents with Apple products and a Windows/Android user group for residents with Windows and Android products. 

CHUG meets monthly except for August and December.
