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.
