[wplug-board] Goodwill Computer Training

[Terence J. Golightly]

Judi,

Right now we have no, volunteers.  No idea of what a class might look
like and what can we do to entice someone to volunteer?  I believe this
has some potential.  However, keep in contact with John and find out
what his bosses are thinking.  If we are to implement something like
this, we need a plan of action before it gets pitched to an outside entity.

We need to discuss this at the board meeting.  Vance Kochendefer had a
suggest regarding Westmoreland Cty. Comm. College.  Apparently they have
Linux courses.  Something you might want consider, if you want to take
control of this project?  You have the contacts, just keep the board
apprised.
