CHARTER PAGE

OUR CHARTER, AS DIRECTED BY ROY RICHARD:

From the desk of your outgoing president:

The computer club is a group of people interested in furthering their knowledge of computers. To attain that goal I have endeavored to organize beginners computer classes, and special interest groups such as groups interested in windows 3.1 and windows 95. What I am proposing now is to have two hours on a Thursday have two hours on a Thursday afternoon from 3:00 P. M. to 5:00 P. M. as a computer help day. If you have a question about a program or need some help in using the program, feel tree to come down during the designated time. 

The computer club needs volunteers to exist. The computer classes which have been provided are taught by volunteers. The computer room is open only when there is a monitor who has volunteered to be in charge of the room. The person who makes up the schedule as to when the room is open and arranges to let the volunteer monitors know when they are scheduled to work is also a volunteer. In order to have the computer room open from 1:00 P.M. to 4:00 P. M. five days a week we need about 25 volunteers to give three hours to the club each month. If you are wondering why we have not had any more guest speakers at our monthly meetings, fear not we will try to correct that soon.

CURRENT EVENTS:

THE TALENT IN OUR LITTLE CLUB IS BURSTING; SOME HAVE COME FORWARD AND ARE PUTTING IT TO GOOD USE, OTHERS ARE PERHAPS SHY AND WILL WAIT AWHILE BEFORE THEY COME FORWARD AND THAT'S ALL RIGHT TOO. TALK ABOUT QUESTIONS--WE SURE HAD THEM AT THE LAST MEETING. WE HAVE AN EXCITING GROUP. LET'S KEEP THE EXCITEMENT GOING.

OUR PRESIDENT, ROY RICHARD, IS CERTAINLY GETTING US OFF TO A GOOD START AND AREN'T WE LUCKY TO HAVE FOLKS LIKE CAROL SAWYER, A PROFESSIONAL COMPUTER TEACHER, CARL MULLISON, BOB RASMUSSEN AND JULI YALE IN OUR GROUP.

MAYBE ONE OR SOME OF YOU ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH YOUR FAX OR E-MAIL WHERE SOME OF US CAN HELP YOU. NEVER FEEL TOO EMBARRASSED TO ASK A QUESTION. IT IS A FACT THAT FOR EVERY QUESTION ASKED, FIVE OTHER PEOPLE WERE WAITING FOR THAT VERY SAME ANSWER. BOB RASMUSSEN HAS OFFERED HIS SERVICES TO ANY AND ALL WHO MAY NEED HELP. PLEASE CALL HIM AT 5200.

AS OF NOW OUR VICE PRESIDENT IS JIM MCFETRIDGE. JULI YALE IS FILLING IN AS SECRETARY BUT EVEN SHE IS AWAY ON VACATION.

ELIZABETH JOHNSON IS OUR TREASURER. (PLEASE SEE HER IF YOU NEED TO PAY YOUR DUES)

FEE MEMBERSHIP IS $5.00 PER PERSON TO COVER WHATEVER EXPENSES WE MIGHT INCUR. TAKE A MOMENT TO REGISTER WITH OUR TREASURER, LIZ JOHNSON. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT YOUR DUES WILL COVER JANUARY THROUGH DECEMBER. IT COULD BE THAT WE MAY EVENTUALLY GET A MEMBERSHIP CARD.

COMING EVENTS:

FEBRUARY 11th AT 10 AM (2nd TUESDAY) WE WILL OFFER A WORKSHOP ON " SPREADSHEET". THE TWO ''WORD PROCESSING'' SESSIONS HELD IN JANUARY WENT OFF WITH SOME SUCCESS. THERE WAS SOME WELCOME INPUT FROM EVERYONE, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO MORE SUCH SESSIONS IN THE FUTURE.

PAGE THREE-A: (Feb. 97)

IF MOST ARE AGREEABLE, WE WILL HAVE A GUEST SPEAKER AT OUR MARCH MEETING. HIS NAME IS SCOTT DUNLAP AND HE IS WITH ''BUSINESS SYSTEMS CONSULTANTS''. GOOD CHANCE HE CAN ANSWER MOST QUESTIONS WE MIGHT ASK.

MANY HAVE ASKED FOR HELP AND MANY HAVE OFFERED ASSISTANCE. YES, WE'RE ON OUR WAY. THE NEWSLETTER GOT A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE TO CARRY ON. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THE EXPENSE OF THE PAPER WILL BE MET BY THE COMPUTER CLUB.

HAVE YOU A COMPUTER FOR SALE? DO YOU WANT TO BUY A COMPUTER? LET ME KNOW AND I WILL PUT IT IN THE NEWSLETTER. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS YOUR NEWSLETTER AND I NEED INPUT FROM YOU. AS OF NOW, I HAVE HAD NO OTHER INPUT OTHER THAN THE PRESIDENT'S CHARTER PAGE.

WE HAVE HAD NO LUCK GETTING OUR NEW PROJECTOR TO FUNCTION. PERHAPS BY THE TIME OF OUR NEXT MEETING, IT WILL BE WORKING.

SICK LIST:

IF YOU WERE NOT AWARE, CAROL SAWYER HAS BEEN ILL AND WAS FORCED TO CANCEL SOME OF HER CLASSES. WE WISH HER A SPEEDY RECOVERY.

TREASURY BALANCE:

WE NOW HAVE 62 PAID UP MEMBERS. THAT MEANS WE SHOULD HAVE A BALANCE OF $310.00. LIZ JOHNSON WILL GIVE A MORE ACCURATE TREASURY REPORT.

AT THE JANUARY 9th MEETING A NOMINATING COMMITTEE WAS PICKED AND WILL TRY FOR A SLATE OF OFFICERS TO BE VOTED INTO OFFICE IN APRIL.
