Workshops presented by HHICC in cooperation with S.H.A.R.E.
The club offers 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. Depending on the number of
registrants the workshops will be held at the SHARE
Senior Center at 6 Office Park Road, suite 915.

What if there was a free service that allowed you to call friends for free with voice or video? Well, there is, Skype is a free
online service that allows you to call with your laptop or desktop to other computers for free. It also has a desktop sharing
option that will allow you to show your screen or see another person's screen if you are helping with computer problems or
making a presentation. Lastly....and key....its easy.....
* Apr 26, 2010, Monday, 2 pm to 3 pm "Picasa" Jack Wilfore
Since we’ve done Picasa presentations in the past, this is how Jack wants to spend the time.
First will be an introduction of Picasa, and how it works. This will be great for any newbie’s and it will be a good refresher for
other users as well.
Next Jack will undertake and complete a specific project – “Building a Slide Show To Share With Family and Friends.” This project
will come complete with a detailed step by step process and handout, so attendees can follow along.
The remaining time will be utilized to address questions and discuss any issues and concerns.
And just what is Picasa? Picasa is a FREE offering from Google, that helps you “Organize” your files and folders on your
computer – both PC’s and Mac’s. The “Edit” function helps you improve those wonderful pictures that might need a little
exposure adjustment or straightening or cropping or red-eye fixing. The “Create” function allows you to generate slide shows
and even videos and collages. And last but not least, you can even “Share” your photos and videos with others using Picasa’s
email function or its online and free web albums.
