PC Group Operating Policies & Procedures

PC General Meeting
Tuesday, September, 14th at Palm Ridge in Summit A
12:30 Coffee & Cookies,
1:00 PC GM, 
1:30 Program

Computers West

 

 

 

The Help Group is available Wednesday, 7:00 am to 9:00 am.   

The club will be closed from Aug 23 to Sep 7. 

As some of you may be aware, we have been waiting replacement of the
carpeting in the Palo Verde Room to have channels cut into the floor for
our PC & MAC console wiring. This concrete work will start on August
17th and the carpeting for all rooms on August 23rd.
 
Therefore, the following schedule will be enacted:
Palo Verde Room will close after a PC Win 7 class on Monday 8/16. I
will then disconnect all console connections. The concrete and
underground piping work will start on 8/17. After the carpet is laid all
wiring will be placed in the new conduits and reconnected to their
respective computers. PC & MAC assistance will be required.

Rooms A, B & C will close Friday evening 8/20. By 8/23 AM all floor
mounted computers are to be removed and all wiring secured off the
floor. Teaching consoles in both rooms also, are to have all wiring
disconnected. Carpet work will  commence on 8/23. 
Again, PC & MAC assistance will be required. Reconnection time will
have to be determined and completed prior to Sept. 7th. I will notify
those involved.

Since Palm Ridge will be closed on Labor Day (8/30) and again on
Thursday & Friday (9/2 & 9/3) for hallway carpet and air duct cleaning
we should announce that the club will be closed from August 23rd to Sept
7th.
