July 2009 Events
Summer help sessions will be every 3rd. Friday 1:00 to 3:00 May through Sept.
July's session is going to be about learning some of the terms and some of the basics you should know using your computers. I have noticed in the last two sessions and working with some people in the area that some are jumping into doing things on their computers without learning how to even get around it first. I'm going to go over these so that when you need to use Windows Explorer that you know the difference between it and Internet Explorer, things like that. www.fpscc.org Otherwise it will be a Q & A on your questions.
COOL/HOT/NOT site opening soon!
As Dave Whittle explained this new site, CoolHotNot is a site to help you find the best that technology has to offer while helping you avoid the worst pitfalls that seem to be part of the tech experience. In the process of sorting out what's best (cool) and what's worst (not), you'll learn what's new that you'll want (what's hot).
We do this by letting you share with others, and receive from them in turn. In other words, CoolHotNot is a new kind of social networking site where excellence and credibility are rewarded.
Those of us that pre-registered got this email from him about the site opening soon and how you can get Free, Premium (unlimited) Access for Life There's still time to sign up and qualify for this offer. I am posting a copy of the email to me so you can read the whole story and not miss out on such an offer. It's in .pdf format (acrobat reader) and you can click Here to download it. Don't miss this offer, it sure isn't going to get any cheaper!
New Tips and Tricks email group.
A new email group thru Yahoo groups was started last month for FPSCC members to get tips, share info and even help other members with problems. You are not automatically put in this group like you are on the membership list. Margaret Clarey has sent out several emails explaining the list and how it will work and how to join if you want to be included on this list. If you did not get this information and want to join this list send an email to FPSCC Tricks and request to be added. Remember you have to be a member of Four Parks Senior Computer Club.

Where to pay dues & Survey Info
Peggy Lindquist is our Financial Secretary and when you pay your dues this season you will be asked to fill out a survey, this has been gone over this summer and made a little easier. We need you to fill this out as this is how the Board can tell what is needed and if you have suggestions we would like to have you write them down. You're not just filling out something that will be set aside and not looked at, they are gone over several times a times a season and a report issued to the Board so they can judge if what is needed is being addressed. Peggy will try to be at informationals, Coffees and meetings to take dues. If you can't make one of those events contact her at 868-0263 and make arrangements to pay dues and fill out the survey.
