We went out in style by munching on fresh donuts while we conducted the last meeting of the season. We salute and thank this year’s officers for their dedication and hard work at making this a great season. A special thank you goes to outgoing President, Peggy Fetzer for all the time and planning she donated to the club. Thanks also to Bill and Marilyn Grange for their past work….and to their future as they continue on as Treasurer and Secretary. Montez Beard will continue on as Activities Coordinator for the group. Thanks again!
The club has opened a “Group” on the Yahoo network where we will post a member roster and resources that are available to club members. Members will be able to log into the group and access information that is available for members only. An email will be sent out later this summer once access has been established and files are uploaded.
A new document has been written that describes the function and objections of our organization. This will be posted on the Activities Office bulletin board, on the club blog site, and will be distributed to prospective members at the welcome back party this fall.
Bill Grange has been in contact with the Arizona Association of Computer Clubs and Sue Hepler will follow up to see if our club can benefit from membership.
The group discussed ideas for future meeting topics and we finished with a presentation on Tips & Tidbits from the recent issue of Smart Computing magazine.
PALM CREEK COMPUTER CLUB OBJECTIVES
The goal of the computer club is to:
- provide a forum for members to meet and discuss computer issues
- keep up to date with new technology
- increase participants enjoyment and understanding of today's cyber world
- provide education about computers and software
- broaden horizons of computer use
- introduce new programs and options for computer usage
The club is geared toward all skill levels, from beginners to advanced users. We find topics of interest for all computer enthusiasts. Basic computer skill instructions are provided at the end of regular meetings utilizing Geeks On Tours presentations.
Members are encouraged to participate in our photo sharing project where we create a five minute slide show of our favorite pictures. Prizes or participant awards may be presented.
Dues are $10 for the season (per site) or $3 per meeting. Dues help cover the cost of weekly door prizes.
Meetings are Wednesday mornings at 9:30 and run 1 to 2 hours depending on the format. The group will sometimes split depending on skill levels and interests.
