WORKSHOPS

Workshops address topics that have wide interest to many members. In the past, these have always been so well attended that registration was usually required, since we are limited to about 70 attendees/seats in the SHARE Center and many times repeat presentations were encouraged.

The club offers approximately one workshop per month to members without charge. The workshops are usually led by a member experienced in the topic or application. They last from 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Workshops are intended to give members an understanding of a variety of computer applications. They are not intended to replace academic or continuing education courses offered by local colleges. Reservations are required to attend a workshop. The current procedure is for the workshop coordinator, Connie Simon to send an email notice to members about 2 weeks in advance of a workshop. Members must reply and receive a confirmation from the Workshop Coordinator that space is available. Members are expected to cancel their registration should they be unable to attend as planned.

The workshops normally will start at 2:00pm on Mondays in the S.H.A.R.E. Senior Center at 6 Office Way, Suite 915 unless otherwise noted

The “Edit” function helps you improve those wonderful pictures that might need a little exposure adjustment or straightening or cropping or red-eye fixing.
