Organized in 1992, our Foxwood Springs Computer Club has grown to more than 150 members.  New classes for residents are started whenever there is interest shown in learning some new skill.  The classes, taught by knowledgeable resident volunteers, include introductory, beginning and intermediate computer operation as well as classes on data base, spreadsheets, imaging, E-Bay, e-mail and the Internet.

Jane Dodson works at her computer on writing her life story, a project she has recently undertaken at the urging of her grandchildren.  She says she has completed a first draft through “the navy years,” a span that included 25 residential moves.  She says she has moved only twice since then, so writing the remainder should go more quickly.

The Computer Club has a monthly newsletter with news of our activities, computer tips, personal stories, articles on new technology, and even computer jokes.  Occasionally, a Personal Profile interview with one of our members is featured.  We also have a monthly meeting on a variety of computer related subjects presented by resident “specialists” or outside speakers.

Special Interest Groups (Chat Time and Genealogy) meet weekly in order for group members to share and learn from each other.  Residents may come to the open labs twice a week for help with computer problems.  House calls are also available.  Residents with e-mail addresses receive reminders of the monthly meeting.
