CLICKS FROM THE COMPUTER LAB June 2012
Starting in May, we combined the Basic Computing class and our Internet and E-Mail class into a day-long BASIC EVERYDAY COMPUTING FOR ALL. In addition, we are including many of the topics we taught in the Computing Essentials class to help round out your computer skills. We will continue to have the FREE Computing Workshop but students who plan on attending Basic Everyday Computing for All shall have priority seating. Please check the dates as this free class is mandatory for all prospective students unless the instructor has been shown sufficient experience prior to signing up.
Please see the class dates and hours in this issue of the the Golden Echo. Along with this class, is an option in which you may purchase two meals for the regular price with the third being free. This option is ONLY available to those persons who are taking the class and have paid the $35 classroom fee.
Due to rising expenses we can no longer offer a free handout as we have done in the past. For a small suggested donation of $4 we do offer a folder with over 30 pages of information covering more than what is taught in the class.
If you are financially burdened by the cost of this class and are currently looking for a job or are physically challenged assistance may be available on a case-by-case basis.
We would also recommend that you visit the Whiteside County Senior Center website at http://www.whitesidecountyseniorcenter.org/ which has a wealth of up-to-date information about the center, our programs, current events and the dining room menu.

CLICKS FROM THE COMPUTER LAB May 2012
We had a great turnout for Abby Stokes's computer presentation and we want to thank her for taking the time out of her busy schedule to share her expertise. We, in the lab, were pleased to see that our classes agree with her ideas and presentation methods but we did learn a couple of things which we will be incorporating into future classes.
We have decided, on a trial basis, to change our overall class structure. This is primarily due to the current high gas prices. Many of the students who attend our classes each month, live out of town so that it is not economical to just come in for three hours for three days for the Basic Computer then again for the Internet & E-Mail class. Two of the instructors also live out of town and the fuel expense is getting prohibitive.
So starting with this month's class, we have combined the two into a day-long BASIC EVERYDAY COMPUTING FOR ALL. We will continue to have the free workshop but students who plan on attending Everyday Computing shall have priority seating. Please see the class dates and hours in this issue of the the Golden Echo. Along with this class, an option is that you may purchase two meals for the regular price and the third will be free. This is ONLY available to those persons who have paid the $35 classroom fee.
