On the last Friday of each month, the Users' Group hosts a Q&A session. This is a more informal meeting to discuss questions raised by the audience and generally deal with current issues of interest to the group. Features of these sessions include:

• Coffee cake and coffee for sale before the session and during break. This is a fundraising effort and additional contributions are always welcome.
• The Doctor Is In individual consultations during Coffee Cake times. Bring your particular questions and our volunteer "doctors" will try to come up with answers, for free.

Volunteers will also try to help out with hardware problems you may be having at home. Make an appointment* with a volunteer techie and bring in the problem hardware. We will take a look at it. Remember, though, that we are volunteers, not experts, and can't guarantee that we will remember our shoes, let alone that we will be able to fix your hardware. We will enjoy trying, though.

*To make an appointment, either call the Adult Community Center (the CLC does not have a separate phone) or send an email to the Webmaster with all the relevant info and we will get back to you with a time.

You can also come in to download a program you have been needing from the internet*. The Center has a broadband connection so if you have been putting off the download because you have a dial-up connection, bring the web address and name of the download (and a blank CD-R) to us and we will send you home with your download. (If you don't have a cd, we will provide one for one dollar.)

See Resources | Complimentary CDs for more info

*We will only do legal downloads, of course.

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are User Groups following same rules as the Users’ Groups with the exception of limiting discussions to one topic area only. These groups meet monthly. Check the Calendar to confirm meeting times. There are currently two operating, Investments, and MAC Users.

PC and MAC users are welcome. Most of the information is relevant to both platforms.

Meets on Demand. Topics include both cameras and photo editing software.

Meets on the last Friday of each month at 10:00 am. Topics include Investment styles, Desktop software, and Web sites available. No investment recommendations will be given and no sales presentations allowed.

• Current schedule will be posted when available.
