People everywhere are realizing the value of sharing computer know-how. By pooling our knowledge, we can speed up the learning process in our pursuit to master the realm of electronic information and entertainment. The bigger the pool of knowledge we have available, the easier it is to find what we re looking for. Computer user groups provide a valuable and economical resource for learning and sharing information about computers. At the very least, they provide an opportunity to get together with other computer users and ask questions and exchange tips and ideas.
Some groups have hardware that needs maintaining and servicing.
Special events and parties are sometimes organized. Generally, the bigger the group is, the more activities it offers and the more work it takes to run it. All of these wonderful services offered by user groups depend on volunteers. By donating a couple of hours of your time each month, you will help build and maintain a user group that benefits not only you but also your entire com-munity. The secretary and treasurer can be trained with some basic instructions in MS Works and Quicken, which make record keeping and bookkeeping simpler.
