Q. Are special purpose pets permitted in the classroom?

Q. I do not own a computer. Is this Club for me? 

A. NO

Q. Will class topics be above my level?

A. We try to tailor class topics to members' needs at all levels of expertise and select appropriate instructors, but we can't please everyone all of the time. As you gain more knowledge over time, you will be more confident and comfortable with your computer and what we teach.

Be patient. Take good notes. Feel free to record the classes. We also have free tutorials on our Club web site. Keep and review the class handouts.. Fellow members will also reach out and help you.

All of this for just $1.00 per class-such a bargain you won't find anywhere else!

Q. How do you use the funds in the Club Treasury?

A. We use the funds we collect to pay rent to the City for the use of our classroom, monthly wireless 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.
