COMPUTER CLUB MEETING
JANUARY 19, 2007
The meeting was called to order at 8:50 a.m. in the fiesta room with 26 members in attendance. Minutes from the previous meeting were projected on the screen for members to read. The treasury balance is now $1,239.33. Latest count shows 64 paid up members. New members were asked to introduce themselves.
Bob Rogers reminded us there will be an organizational meeting for all those working on the computer club dinner immediately after the computer club meeting on January 26th. Ardell reminded all members to push ticket sales. Our intent is to allocate the box office admissions from some of the Friday night movies to the Entertainers Club, Pioneer Club, and the chorus providing we sell enough tickets to our dinner.
Al Mendenhall was asked who was in the lead with their “portfolio” at this point and it is Ann Iverson with Jean La Voie bringing up the rear--more next week!
Margaret Guenther was the presenter today for the program on using the computer for a telephone. The committee consisted of Margaret, Dolores Dewey, Edna Nugent, and Ardell Easterday. Handouts were given on using Google Talk, Skype, and JAJAH.com. Unless your computer has a built in microphone you need to purchase one. Google talk was briefly presented using the club computer and two who were connected to WiFi. Glenda Sutherland has used Skype and Edna has used JAJAH so they may be willing to answer your questions on those two ways of calling .
Meeting adjourned at 9:45.
Respectfully submitted, Ardell Easterday, Recorder

COMPUTER CLUB MEETING
January 12, 2007
The meeting was called to order at 8:50 a.m. in the fiesta room.
Treasurer Jean La Voie announced there is a balance of $1,150.30 after an expenditure of $96.18 for print cartridges. There were 32 in attendance.
Bob Rogers asked that all those who have signed up to help with the computer club dinner which is to be held on Jan. 28th meet at 9:45 immediately after the computer club meeting on Jan 26. There is a list in the Villager of those selling tickets and Ann Iverson will sell them in the lobby this next Sat. and Sunday. Encourage your friends to come!
A question was raised regarding WiFi. No one is satisfied with our reception at this point and refunds are possible, if worse comes to worst. Hopefully kinks will be wiped out eventually. Lets just say “they” are working on it.
The program scheduled for today was on social networking and as Bob Rogers (man of the hour) had more experience with it he took over and presented a program bringing up both Google and Yahoo and illustrated different interest groups that we can check out by just typing in groups.
Al Mendenhall, who is part of the “financial group presenters” illustrated part of their presentation which will be completed on Feb 2nd. He and five friends each were given a fictional $3,000 to invest in four companies and at the end of a given time they will see who was the shrewdest investor.
