Basic Spreadsheet Skills 12-8-10

It was another beautiful Arizona day of warm temps and bright sunshine when we met for our Computer Club meeting.  Mike Salter started us off in his usual manner with a humorous and entertaining video about today’s airline security measures.

Mike’s presentation today was geared to basic spreadsheet skills with the intent that we can all make a park telephone roster with phone numbers and site numbers where we can sort by last name, site number, first name…..or anyway we want with just a click of a button.  The presentation is being posted to Mike’s website for review if needed.  Just for fun……please bring along a printed copy of your new phone roster so we can “show and tell” and rehash how we created the spreadsheet and what problems (if any) we encountered.  We can always learn more from experience!

If you received a CD containing any of our presentations, PLEASE remember to return them at the next meeting so they can be shared with other members.

Our temporary interim Treasurer(s), Montez Beard and Bonnie Sewell, collected dues of $10 and issued blue stars for our name tags.  Once dues are paid, we’ll be adding your name to our email roster so you receive notices and/or minutes of our meetings.

AGENDA FOR UPCOMING MEETINGS:
