2009-2010 season 

 

Our Season runs from October 1st through September 30th.

  

What's New??

BIG GIVEAWAY!!! 

We are cleaning out the Computer room and have some computer items to give away.  There are working monitors (no flat screens), a couple of towers, a scanner, 2 computer desks, and a variety of miscellaneous items.   Pop in to the computer room after Wednesday and check it out.  All items not taken will go to recycling on Fri. March 12th.  So get them while they're hot!


Revised By-Laws were approved February 13, 2010  .more

Members: do you need to print a Boarding Pass but have no printer?
The following members have graciously offered to let you use their printers:
Jack Cleveland; Derek Falck; Hal Shockey; Frank Stratton
  Do you have computers in working order that you want to dispose of?
Take them to Lowel Egren.
He refurbishes and donates them to underprivileged children who would not otherwise have a computer
.

Wireless Internet in the computer room

Don Bartholomew and Hal Shockey teamed up to research the possibility of getting “wireless internet” in the computer room area to facilitate training programs.
The project was successful and as of March, 2009.
Wireless internet is now available in and around the building housing the computer room, library, and card rooms.  It also supports the swimming pool area and the multi-purpose room.  This is a significant improvement!

Magic Jack

Have you heard of “Magic Jack”?  It's a land line telephone system which operates through the computer rather than the telephone line.
To check into it, go to “magicjack.com”.  A number of Club members plus others in Paradise now have it and it is working quite well.  A regular land line phone costs approximately $312.00 annually and the magic jack costs approximately 47.50 the first year and 20.00 each year thereafter.  Wow!  If you use it with a multiple wireless phone set, you can use it throughout the home.  Another item introduced and demonstrated by the Computer Club.


By-Law Revision:

As the season came to a close, several of us took a look at the Club By-Laws and felt  they need some update to better fit the environment we are in now.  The last time it was addressed was in 2006 which resulted in a minor change.
 
Therefore, a By-Laws Committee was formed to work together over the summer and come back in the fall with a proposed update.  The Committee includes: Marge Hinners - Vice President and Committee lead, Frank Stratton - Past President, Sally Smith - Secretary, and Larry Beam - MAC Coordinator.
