Basic Training for New and Returning Club Members

 Windows Guide for You,  by Don Crowley

Latest Edition includes VISTA and is   available from the Treasurer at weekly meetings.

The Club offers Basic Computer, E-Mail and Internet training for new or returning members.  If you care to participate in all or part of this training, sign up for the class.   It is recommended (not required)  that you have previously purchased or obtained a copy of "Windows Guide for You".   You will discover worlds of practical information about using computers, word processor programs, E-Mail and the Internet.

Computer Mentor Program

The Computer Mentor Program is receiving help from a fellow Club member on a computer problem or new program, over the phone, at either your home site or using Resort Computers.  The SIGs share knowledge in a "group setting".  Computer Help shares knowledge via a "one-on-one" basis.  The goal is the same, "Users Helping Users 

Special Interest Groups and Classes 

(Sign-up sheets are in the Computer Room Foyer and are also available at weekly Thursday am meetings)

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are users helping users.  A SIG is made up of people interested in the same computer-related subject.  They will meet to share knowledge through discussions, "show and tell", guest speakers or whatever helps the group to learn.  Members of the group decide what format the meetings should take to meet their needs. Since SIGs are not classes, a SIG leader is a facilitator and not a teacher.  He or she may not be an expert in the program or product discussed.

Classes are taught either as hands-on where the size is limited to the number of computers available in the Learning Center portion of our Lab or in a normal classroom setting and both use a projector and screen.  All of our teachers or demonstrators are volunteers.

Computer Room Monitoring Program

Beginning in late October, the Monitoring Program resumes and runs through mid April in the Computer Labs.  Please check the schedule in the covered showcase beside the Computer Room door for specific times.  Room Monitors are on duty from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday - Friday and Saturdays during the busiest Resort season.  For Non-member access during the summer months, see the poster in the showcase for a contact person.

If you are a Computer Club Member and would be willing to share a couple hours of your time weekly to help in the Computer Room, please contact Joan Ostlie @ 583-4158

Review Program

Many manufacturers allow user groups to review their software and other items with the benefit of being able to keep the product you review.  Please contact the Board of Directors for more information.  You may also review software that you already own.  We accept both good reviews and those from unhappy users.

Computer Room Access

When you, as a member are in the Computer Room  and there is no Monitor on duty, you have a responsibility to kindly tell non-members who request access that they should come back when a Monitor is there to assist them.  Show them the schedule posted on the bulletin board and in the show case outside the door. If you allow a non-member access, you are responsible to monitor that person .  Please help us protect the provided equipment. 

Computer Room hours for members are 6:15 am to 9:45 pm daily. 

You will be required to leave the room when Security makes their rounds at 9:45 pm. The upper lock will be unlocked when security opens rooms at 6:15 am.
