A SPECIAL REQUEST

Submitted by Warren Sanders on Thu, 07/08/2010 - 08:45

There is a young man in Knoxville who needs our help in obtaining a MAC laptop.  He recently graduated from West High School and has won a 4-year, full-tuition scholoship to a prestegious music school in Hartford, CT.  His family does not have the resources to give him much assistance, so we are trying to help.  His scholorship is tuition only, so he must provide for his own room and board, books, etc.  The school requires a MAC laptop with a minimum 13" screen.  If you have one, or know of someone who does, please let me know.  We would really like to help this very deserving young man.  You can contact me @ 865-4408-0304 or on my cell phone @ 865-816-4731.  Thanks.  Warren Sanders

Report On July General Meeting

Submitted by Dean Miller on Wed, 07/14/2010 - 09:07

The July 6, 2010 General Meeting program was titled  "Successes of the Helen Ross McNabb Healthy Families of East Tennessee Program".  It centered on services available to unwed mothers and their infant children.    Our Club has impacted that success due largely to computer donations from TVCUC/TAP.  The program was presented by Rachael Nielsen, Program Coordinator.  Only about 35 were in attendance due to the holiday and summer schedules.

Do you have pictures on slides you would like to have on a CD or on your computer?

Go to the SIG link for the slide scanner and find an open week on the calendar then send an email to "Scanner@TVCUC.org" to reserve the equipment.

There are still open weeks in August.

TAP UPDATE

Submitted by Warren Sanders on Mon, 05/24/2010 - 16:00

As of July 4, we have given away 544 systems, and the number of children in the receiving homes is 922.  We are excited about the approaching 1,000th child.  Our enthusiasm remains very high, and we get a lot of enjoyment out of what we do.  Of course, any funding assistance is always appreciated.

We have some needs that you might be able to help us with.  We can always use towers (or laptops), monitors, mice, speaker sets, printers, etc.  If you have any of these items taking up space in your home, we will appreciate receiving them. 

 

Buying Option for Office 2010

Submitted by Lou Miller on Sun, 05/23/2010 - 10:29

I just purchased Office 2007 Home and Student edition (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Onenote) for $99.  It says it can be installed on three computers.  It also says it includes a free upgrade to Office 2010.  I thought this was a pretty good way to get Office 2010 ($33/copy).  Of course if you want Outlook then that is a separate purchase.  Probably another $100.  And that's a lot more than I want to pay for an email program when there are so many good free ones around.
