Lab Monitor Training
Without our volunteers we couldn’t keep our lab open.   Have you thought about becoming a Lab Monitor?  Monitors are not expected to be experts on the operation of lab equipment, but are there to assist people with such things as signing in or signing up for classes. As a new monitor you will be paired with an experienced monitor and can choose to work the dates and times that fit your schedule. If you have not yet been trained as a monitor, and would like to be, send an e-mail to   monitors2@sctxcompclub.org

 

To see classes scheduled for August , September , and October   click on the month in this newsletter or  go to Training on the main page of the   Computer Club web site  and click on Class Calendar.
    Training Announcements
Descriptions of all classes offered are also available on the computer club website under Training or by clicking on the link provided here.

If you are signed up for a training class and cannot attend, please be sure to inform either the instructor or a Lab monitor. Someone else may be waiting for a chance to take the class.
