Minutes for meeting

Vice President Janee Aronoff introduced herself and President Mike Aronoff and asked that we all wear our nametags to the meetings so she can learn our names.

The minutes were read from the December 13th meeting. Treasurer Jean LaVoie read the treasurer's report showing a balance of $1155.29.

It was reported that our park should be connected to WiFi by next Friday and at that time we will be notified as to the yearly charge.

Edwina Dale’s class on computer basics that meets Wed. mornings at 9:00 a.m. in room AB is going well.

Janee had those present divide into three groups according to the interest shown on the survey she handed out. Those groups are--financial management, personal networking, and computer phone. We will research our topic and bring the info along with a print out to a future meeting.

Free programs that we should all install on our computers are: anti virus, firewall, ad aware, and anti spy ware-(spybot search and destroy). These are all free programs, some through AVG which can be accessed by typing into Google "AVG free" and checking version 7.5

Discussion followed on getting rid of spam and the answer is get a new E mail address and use a “throw away” address if need to order something on line.

Also discussed was how to transfer your address book, and never sending to multiple addresses without using “blind copy”.

Ann Iverson will check on purchasing Office software for our club computer.

The meeting was called to order by President Mike Aronoff in the Fiesta Room with 25 members present. The treasury has a balance of $2,224.58. The minutes and treasury report can now be read on our blog which is FHTV.blogspot.com. and will not be read at the meeting. Next week's meeting will be cancelled due to Christmas events.

Bob Rogers announced that the Pedersens will not be here by Jan. 28th,the scheduled date for the Computer Club Dinner and he will contact them to get the recipe for the meat loaf and we’ll try to carry on without them.

Pres. Mike pointed out the new Dell laptop purchased for the club and selected by Al, Bob, and Edwina. It will be in the possession of the club program chair. With it we were able to enjoy a presentation of many sites related to Christmas from cards, to games, to crafts put on our blog by program chair, Janee Aronoff.

Al Mendenhall nominated Phyllis Randall for board member-at-large and motion passed unanimously. This is a one-year term.

A question was asked about automatic updates and some let them take place automatically and some screen them for content and convenient time.

Meeting adjourned at 9:45.

FAR HORIZONS

COMPUTER CLUB MEETING

December 8, 2006

Twenty five members were in attendance at the meeting presided over by President Mike Aronoff. The treasury has a balance of $2,204.90.

Program chair Janee Aronoff handed out the survey she had put on our blog for those who had not completed it.

An impromptu board meeting was held due to a time element to discuss the purchase of a laptop to be used for programs.. Al Mendenhall, Bob Rogers and Edwina Dale will be a committee of three to purchase said item.

Software for Photoshop was suggested at $49.95 and our club computer will be checked to see if that purchase is feasible.

The subject of today’s program was “changing file associations” and those with laptops went through some of the exercises. Janee handed out a printout on File Association after her presentation. It is recommended that those with laptops bring them to each meeting. The subject for each week’s program will be on our club “blog”

The minutes can be read on the blog.

Meeting was adjourned at 9:50, moved by Bob Rogers and seconded by Phyllis Randall.
