Q. Do I need a computer to join the Club?
A. I strongly recommend it as the best way for you to practice what you have learned in the comfort and privacy of your own home. You will not have to wait in line at the local library or be subject to inclement weather.
Q. Will class topics be above my level?
A. We structure our class topics for novices, since that is what over 95% of our members are but we sometimes venture into more advanced topics. As you gain more knowledge each week, what was difficult at the beginning will become easier over time. If the subject matter we cover seems to overwhelm you, you can also register for our SIG program. Remember that everyone started as a tortoise at some point and over the years they have equaled and surpassed the hares. Be patient. Take good notes. Feel free to record the classes. We also have free tutorials on our Club web site and in our newsletters. Fellow members will also reach out and help you. Members will tell you that there really are no strangers in our Club-only friends that you have yet to meet. We treat and respect everyone as a family member.
Q. How are my annual dues spent?
A. We use your money to pay rent to the City for the use of our room, newsletter printing, Internet service, supplies, equipment purchase and repair, special software purchases, Club activities, and expenses for official business. Our proposed budget for each fiscal year is published on the Club site. Club Site: www.db-cc.org
