February 6 – Computer Q&A Roundtable

Computer Q&A Roundtable discussion. There is no set agenda. Participants are encouraged to bring questions and problems to the group for discussion and, hopefully, solutions. Discussion will be led by George Hefferon. We’ll also have a brief ‘how-to’ on spring cleaning your computer – take it apart, dust it out, maybe install more memory. Led by Bruce Preston. 3:30pm at SRMS

February 27 – TurboTax

Ever make a math error in your return? Forgot to carry something between schedules? Missed an important change in the tax laws? Come and explore the most popular tax preparation software. Bring your questions and suggestions. Will also briefly cover the H&R Block product. Session led by Jon Elkow. 3:30pm at SRMS

March 12 – Social Networking !!


SPECIAL LOCATION – Town Hall basement large meeting room 3:30 pm

The session will be led by some folks from the Ridgefield Press and will explain how they use Facebook and Twitter, as well as websites, as part of their distribution of news and information. It will show how to set up a Facebook and Twitter account, how to “follow” people and organizations on both, how to create a special Facebook page (such as Old Ridgefield or, if it involves a business, The Ridgefield Press). We can also discuss forums and blogs. For those who are interested, there will be a brief tour available of The Press office (not all that exciting, but it shows how computers have taken over as news tools).

March 26 – Quicken

Have trouble getting your ‘stuff’ together to do your taxes? Wonder how much you spent (or your significant other spent) on ???? during the year? Forget to pay the electric bill? Come get an overview of this popular home (and business) finance software. Led by Jon Elkow. 3:30pm at SRMS

Need to make more room in the attic or garage? Or have some room for more stuff? See all the things you can get or get rid of by using Ebay, an internet ‘auction’ site.
