Volunteering – PC Tuneup Day at Cajun Clickers Computer Club

Today is a full day of volunteering for me at the Cajun Clickers Computer Club. <br />
<br />
We have a "PC Tuneup Day" for our members every two months. In this event, we have about 25 volunteers involved in doing tuneups of our members computers. Some of the volunteers sign in the people with their computers, others keep the system flowing, some run the anti-virus station and others do the real techie stuff — cleaning spyware, adware, old programs and other junk off the computers. The goal is to send the members out with a computer that runs much more efficiently.<br />
<br />
Twenty-five volunteers just to do the work? That's it, folks. We have one of the most active computer user groups in the country. Our club has over 1,800 member families. Membership gets all the benefits and free classes for all the immediate family members. That's the kind of thing you can do with an all-volunteer active group.

We will probably have 50 to 60 computers go through the tuneup process on Saturday. I'm one of the guys doing the techie stuff.<br />
