No Classes until September - Check the new Catalog

We are rapidly approaching the end of the summer trimester.

Thank you so much to all of you who have helped make this a great experience for instructors, coaches and – most of all – the students. There are no classes scheduled in August, and I will not be posting regularly until we pick up again in September (First classes in the Fall trimester are the week of September 9.)


1. In August, we do hold our Friday Open Lab’s. We will be open each Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon (Aug 2, 9, 16,23 and 30.)

2. The Computer Users Group is scheduled to meet August 16 at 2:00 p.m. led by Stan Schwab

3. We will not hold our monthly coaches and instructors’ meeting in August. The next meeting is September 20 at 1:00 p.m.

Please don’t forget that we do have 2 classes scheduled this coming week. See the chart below or the attached file.

Week beginning July 8

We hope everybody had a bang-up time on the Fourth of July. We have a number of popular classes to teach this coming week. Mel will kick of the week with Intermediate Photo Editing on Monday Morning. On Monday afternoon, Steve has a sold out “Scanning and Organizing” class. Tuesday afternoon we offer the second section of Boot Camp. Gene introduces students to Word Processing (Word Pad) and Email. On Thursday, Herb and I are introducing a new course about the Control Panel in which students will be doing a number of hands-on exercises for the first time.


We  hope you will be rested up from this week’s fireworks, and we hope to see you there.
