Another focus has been our work with battered women's shelters and homeless children shelters. We have been setting up systems and training the residents. They love it and are learning employable skills. This year we have tried to expand our training aspect of the program. We realize that in most cases, just giving someone a PC is not enough.
Training is resource intensive but our volunteers are stepping up to take on the task.
We have found a new audience for PC education in senior citizens. A recent interview in the Akron Beacon Journal by our Past President , Richard G. Lubinski, was published in a special Mature Life newspaper supplement. This newspaper supplement was published the day before the Sr. Citizen Expo at the J.S. Knight Convention Center and additional copies were passed out at the Expo. Since the article several class were held and more are planned.
