Description: This month we’d like to welcome back instructor Ray Carnes. Ray, who taught the computer class during the summer will be taking over for our longtime instructor, Kim Hayes. Kim left for a new and totally different job. Ray was more than willing to continue teaching the class. Ray became interested in computers having taken classes back in highschool. He studied Information Technology in his homeland of Queensland, Australia. He taught I.T. at the University of Redlands, and does work for Odoo, a management software company which produces management software that is also used by teachers. Both classes will start out with a Q & A session to determine where his students are and what they need to learn, and what they would like to work on. Classes will be tailored to fit the needs of the students. Classes are on Thursday, with Computer Desk Top 101 from 9-10 am, and Intermediate Computers from 10-11 am. Sessions are 8 weeks in length, with classes held quarterly. Cost is only $8 for members and non-members.

Featured Activity

Scrapbooking
Time: Thursdays 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Cost: Free members
      Free non-members
Location: Sun Room
Description: When we were younger, scrapbooking normally meant pasting pictures or newspaper articles about yourself or someone you knew on some paper. It has become something much more than that. While they still have photos and printed media, scrapbooks, or albums, are also part journal, with handwritten notes, borders, vellum covers, and lots and lots of decorations. One can put as much or as little time and effort into it as desired. Scrapbooking can be done by itself, but is best when done with friends. It becomes a social get together where people trade techniques, and share equipment and supplies. Our scrapbooking group meets every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. So if you're looking for something fun, creative, and social, come on down and get ready to share your memories.
Health fair 2016
By: Mike Sylva
With the last gasp of summer producing temps in the low 90\'s, it was hard to think of the Flu Season. Yet in the words of Benjamin Franklin, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” We had nearly 200 people show up for the cure. Some others even got the cure from other places, but came for all the other information and goodies our other vendors brought with them.

With shots being offered back in September just about anywhere, our crowds aren’t what they used to be, but for those who did not like waiting in line for 45 minutes, it was a smooth flowing line. People got to ask questions at the various booths, get lots of freebies, all at a leisurely pace.

We would like to acknowledge that the success of our health fair would not have been possible without all the vendors who came out to provide information and services to all. Additional thanks go out to the Highland Police Department’s Citizen’s Patrol for their excellent traffic control and parking assistance. Mostly we would like to thank our event sponsors, the Physicians of Beaver Medical Group and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.
