Under old business, Jeff Neeper moved and Glenda Sutherland seconded that Ann Iverson be given the authority to discard the old computer if and when it dies.
Members were given the assignment to bring back to the group a list of internet sites they have found useful over the summer.
The final program of the year was presented by Janee Aronoff using
Our Photo shop 5 software. Among other things, she made a collage using photos she had taken and downloaded of the Grand Canyon.
Margaret Gunther requested guidelines on purchasing a digital camera. A 5 mega pixel with 12x optical zoom was suggested with a view finder and one that the lens is not easily covered with ones hand.
In other words, a point and shoot.

The meeting was called to order by acting president Ardell Easterday
In the Fiesta Room with 20 members present.
Treasurer Jean LaVoie reported we have a balance of $2,079.82.
Ann Iverson gave the report from the nominating committee. Next years officers were nominated as follows: Pres. Ardell Easterday, Vice Pres. Gary Puro, Co Sec. Dolores Dewey and Ruth Van Matre, Co Treas. Ann Iverson and Jeff Neeper. As there were no nominations from the floor,
all of the above were voted in unanimously .
There was some discussion on the rapid disappearance of paper from the printer .. The topic was postponed until the next meeting.
A very informative program was presented by Michael and Janee Aronoff on using E Bay and Pay Pal. Our ability to project on the large screen adds a great deal to our programs as they were able to show while telling how to navigate the various sites.One must register first thing and list a credit card number or one could use a debit card with a small balance available, a credit card that is just for that purpose, or a passbook acct.
Most feel E Bay is a safer site than most online companies. Pay Pall is a bank that pays a higher interest rate than most banks. Michael suggested that Sunday is the best day to end an auction as most people have the time to add to their bids. A site to remember is---pages.E Bay.com/education/ index.HTM
Next weeks program by Janee Aronoff will be “Introduction to digital photo management”. Members are encouraged to bring their laptops.
This will be the next to last meeting of this spring.
