Here's some holiday news. For the most part the Center will have regular hours in November and December, except for a couple of holiday when it will be closed. The Center will be closed on Thursday,November 24 for Thanksgiving. In December the Center will be closed on December 24 and 25. We would also like to remind those of you who are NOT MAC users that the Mac group meets on Tuesday morning and there is a lot of talking in the group. So, if you are bothered by others talking while you are computing, you might want to avoid those days. Also, we hold a Board of Directors meeting on the third Monday of each month and usually close the Center while we conduct Center business. The monthly calendar is always posted on the bulletin board in the back of the room so take a look at it. Mark your calendars for the above information.
It's hard to believe that we are about to close out another year in the life of the Computer Center. We expect that January will be a busy month with some basic training and some dropins. Watch this column for future activities. Also, don't forget to check the sign in table in the rear of the Center for information about upcoming activities. If there are some signup sheets, please put your name in those areas that you would like to attend. This gives us enough time to make copies of handouts.
I will be recommending to the board of directors that we hold a Flea Market with all kinds of stuff free for folks to take home. Some of the stuff will be old but still containing a lot of good information. The ground rules will be that visitors will be free to take stuff they may find useful AT NO COST. Whatever is left at the end of the session will be sent to the disposal heap. I am hoping that we can have some hardware things and some informational things like Computer Magazines asnd books. I have been reviewing some of my magazines and found a lot of very helpful information in them that is still quite current. This could turn out to be a very worthwhile venture - what may be trash to me could be quite valuable to others (especially when free).
We are interested in knowing what kinds of activities the Center can help you with so don't be bashful - talk to one of us at the Center or drop us a note with your ideas. Brainstorming is always a very valuable technique for moving in new directions.
