CLL Computer Club
History
The Club was organized to promote computer literacy for
the CLL members and to help develop a pool of instructors and teaching
assistants for the computer classes.
As personal computers become available and affordable for most homes,
they have also become more powerful. The concept of computer literacy
is moving beyond computer basics to more powerful applications under
the heading of multimedia literacy. Our Computer Club has expanded its
scope to fill these growing requirements.
Eligibility for Membership
All CLL instructors, faculty and students who are interested in keeping abreast of the fast changes in computer technology and sharing their computer knowledge and experience are eligible to join our growing numbers of club members.

The meeting starts with a Question and Answer/problem solving session followed by a computer related presentation by either a club member or an outside guest speaker.
We do not always solve all computer problems, but we do help in sharing your pain.
The Computer Club is one of two CLL activities that continues year around; the other is the Adventure Club. Above, Jim Cooper addresses one of the monthly meetings
Club Officers
The Club President “Lead Digerati” Jim Cooper organizes and hosts the meeting each month. The Club Secretary, Judie Day, keeps the membership list up to date and sends out announcements of upcoming meetings and handouts provided by the presenters via e-mail.
Judie also does the publicity and promotion.
Membership
The Club now has a membership of 67 members (and growing) with an average of 30 to 35 attending each session. Our membership includes locals, transplants, and snowbirds. They are a good cross section of the United States and Canada.
Being a CLL member is the only requirement for membership. There are no dues or fees.
