They have approximately 100 persons on their waiting list but need mentors and more computer equipment. The program has training sites for mentors in the Catonsville and Essex areas of Baltimore County. Cyber Net carefully matches each client with a mentor who is given seven weeks of training. Refurbished computers are placed in homes, on loan, so Cyber Net has control over the equipment, and can replace equipment that breaks down. Cyber Net does not teach word processing, although the computers are equipped with Windows 98.
Word processing is the client's option.
It is with great sadness that I report the death of Estelle Williamson, vice president and one of the founders of Friends. Words can not express this loss to her many friends, to a myriad of organizations, and to the community. On behalf of the Board, we salute her professional and personal accomplishments, and the many hours she devoted to Friends. The budget for 2001 was approved. Reports were given from the LBPH Director, Legislative, Public Relations, and the Scholarship Committees.
