HHICC Club Member Benefits
- Access to the Resource
Center which is open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 4 pm, is a key membership
benefit. The Center is staffed by volunteers who are available to help visitors
and callers troubleshoot problems. Based on their individual experience, skills
and expertise, if they can’t help directly, they can point out other volunteers
from our Phone List who have agreed to list their phone number for help with specific
issues and topics. The volunteers can also point out the wide variety of other resources
available to members and prospective new members. Members can also utilize computer
terminals, slide scanners, the media center, and other equipment and existing software.
Members are asked to please limit use to one hour sessions, when others are waiting.
Because of the wide variety of volunteer talents and skills, if a member requires
help solving a specific problem, it's recommended they call ahead to make sure someone
with that specific expertise might be available to help with your specific problem.
- The WWW.HHICC.ORG Web Site presents the Weekly
News, Member Articles, Top Picks Free Software, Phone List, Staff and Volunteer
information, and access to a wealth of other related information.
- The HHICC Weekly News
is emailed to members, bringing the news and access to the web site directly to
members on a regular basis.
- The Island Computing
Newsletter is a monthly publication which highlights timely topics of interest,
and it is emailed to members. The monthly Newsletter is also posted on the web site,
and past issues are archived and also available.
- Workshops are
offered once a month, September through June. They are led by members experienced
in a specific topic and generally last about one hour. Typically they cover the
“basics” of a popular software program, like MS Word or Photoshop Elements, and
provide tips and hints on how to make those programs more useful. As space is limited,
reservations are required. Workshops aren’t intended to replace courses or classes
offered locally.
- Special Interest Groups
(SIGs) meet monthly in small groups and hold open discussions with questions and
problem solving on topics like AOL, Image Editing, Macintosh, Music, Windows XP,
etc. These special interests are constantly changing based upon interest and attendance.
Current Special Interest Groups meeting times are listed on the calendar, which
can be found on the web site.
Membership provides all of the benefits listed above, as well as an opportunity
to meet other members and volunteers.
The Hilton Head Island Computer Club respects the professionals in the community
who derive their livelihood from providing computer services and repairs. Based
on this, we don’t make house calls.
