You heard it here first!

The Gold Country Computer Learning Center is developing a Speaker’s Bureau, whose members will go into the community to share information about the computer classes, workshops, seminars and user group meetings we provide. A steering committee of six people will prepare material, offer speaker training, and keep the data bases current. Speakers will be selected from our members who will commit to a small number of hours per year, thereby allowing more people to participate in activities other than teaching or coaching.
