FAR HORIZON
COMPUTER CLUB MEETING
December 28, 2007


10 persons attended.

President Gary Puro opened the meeting. Acting Secretary Dolores Dewey read the Minutes. Corrections - there is no www in the Club’s blog address and the next meeting today and not January 4, 2008. Corrections made. Treasurer Anne Iverson reported income from Dues $10.00, new Balance $1456.85. Accepted as read.
Anne Iverson reviewed the sign up sheet for the Club dinner workers. Al Mendenhall agreed to print the 200 dinner tickets. The key board for the public computer is no longer functioning. If we do not have a spare in storage, permission was given to purchase a new one. Gary Puro asked for suggestions on what to do with the wifi card that was donated to the Club. It was decided that an auction held sometime in January, for Club members only, was the fairest way to handle it. Janee Aronoff will store it until then.

Gary Puro asked if there were any formal rules for Club members. He was given a copy of the By Laws and a copy of our Mission Statement. He read both aloud, for the benefit of our new members. Ann Iverson brought the Membership Roster and asked why so many members were not attending meetings. Janee Aronoff said that when we resume regular instructional programs, in January, they will probably come. Gary Puro said there is a Power Point program coming in January. Anne Iverson stated that Jane Czasnowski will relate how she made $5000.00 on Ebay.

Q & A Time - Gary Puro solved the problem of the errant cursor on his new wireless keyboard. He clicked on Orientation. Janee Aronoff said her teaching website has been hacked and she hasn’t been able to fix it. Al Mendenhall has been transfering his movies from film onto his computer for storage on cds. They have flickers of light in them. He was told there are commercial businesses that will do it for you. More program suggestions, How to use Google, Excel, Works and the fun of Games and social networking. Next weeks program: freerice.com. Ask the Villager to put our program next to our listing.

Meeting adjourned.
Acting Secretary, Dolores Dewey
