All members, friends and Port Ludlow residents
are welcome to the General Meetings!
Come to the Port Ludlow Computer Club General Meeting at the Bay Club on Monday, July 12, as we spend an evening talking about gadgets, devices, software, online services, etc., that allow us to travel easier, safer, and more informed than ever before. We’ll look at some of the opportunities that GPS has brought us. Those of us that spend times in the outdoors (hikers, campers, kayakers, fishermen, hunters, boaters, etc) can add the convenience and safety of a multitude of products with GPS.
Planning a trip or vacation is simple and fast today because of mapping software and online services for booking reservations, scheduling, and creating maps and more. How about software to track your fuel mileage or record your entire trip? Computers and Smart phones all have wonderful apps available to assist with your navigation, mileage, etc.
Bring your favorite gadget or story to the meeting. Let’s share our experiences with the emerging travel technology. PLCC General Meetings are open to everyone and we hope you will attend.
The Presentation starts at 6:00 p.m., and there is a social time at 5:30 p.m.
The Port Ludlow Computer Club (PLCC) holds its Annual Summer Social on Monday, June 14, at 5:30 p.m. at the Bay Club. Bring an appetizer to share and PLCC will furnish the beverage: wine, soft drinks, tea and coffee. Plan on joining us for an evening of fellowship and fun.
The event starts with a short business meeting to elect the PLCC Board of Directors for 2010-2011. A slate of candidates will be presented, but nominations from the floor will be accepted. This event is open to the community; however, PLCC membership required to vote.
The PLCC Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings scheduled for June:
Learn about servers, settings, webmail, clients, attachments, etc . . . in English! No tech speak, no in depth explanation about everything that you didn’t want to know about Email. PLCC members will present a program of easily understood facts that will improve your use and understanding of Email. The panel will then open the floor to attempt to answer your questions or difficulties with Email.
Join them at the Bay Club on Monday evening, May 10, for a social time with coffee and cookies at 5:30. The presentation begins at 6:00. You don’t have to be a member to attend; PLCC General Meetings are open to all.

Books have been around in their current form for a very long time and have, thus far, proved resistant to technological changes. The basic concept of a book today is very much the same as it was a hundred years ago. Now, however, it looks like technology may have eventually found a better format for enjoying the written word—or has it?
A simple idea in principle, electronic book readers, or eBook readers as they are commonly known, provide the facility to store entire book collections in a package smaller than a traditional paperback, without affecting the ability to read and enjoy books wherever and whenever you like.
Join the Port Ludlow Computer Club (PLCC) as we explore this topic and have a show and tell of the most common devices on the market such as the Kindle, Nook and Sony e-reader. Club member Martha Dawson will be leading the Monday, March 8, presentation at the Bay Club beginning at 6:00 p.m., with a social time at 5:30 p.m. This event is open to the entire community and all of its book lovers. Please join us for this very special evening.
Workshops are held every Saturday morning, 10:30 a.m.–noon. All SIGs and Workshops meet at the Bay Club and are for members only.
