March 2010 Newsette

This has been a successful year in providing Internet access, maintenance, and instruction or help by volunteers from the Computer Club. Thanks to all volunteers who come in to assist with the Help sessions on Monday mornings.

Presenters spend time preparing instructions for classes on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, Wednesday for a 2 hour session. These sessions are $2 each. There is a no charge Q and A session for an hour on the 1st Wednesdays. For help or use of the computers and printer there is a donation slot in the cabinet door.


HTR hosted www.geeksontour.com, Jim and Chris Guld the last week of January. These computer educators presented well attended seminars on Safe Computing, Picasa, and Google Earth. A one day Computer Boot Camp was full with 16 computers and one to two persons learning at a computer. As this season closes Geeks On Tour have us penciled in for the 2010-2011 season.
