VOLUNTEER COMPUTER TEACHER NEEDED

Quilcene Community Center has computers and people who would like to use them.  What they don’t have is someone to volunteer a couple of hours a week to introduce people to the magical world of technology.  You don’t have to be a geek; many folks just need the basics, like Googling, e-mail etiquette and management, Word, etc.  If you happen to know more than that, you would be greatly appreciated by those who don’t.  Lend a hand by contacting Bob Rosen rswenson@olycap.org or (360) 765-3321.
