Apple/Mac Users Group

The Apple/Mac group meets every Thursday from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Board Room or Computer Center.  Clay Sisk is now coordinating the meetings, so contact him at  with meeting ideas or questions.  Also give him your email address so that you can receive the weekly meeting announcements.  For example a recent meeting consisted of the following.

If you own a Mac computer, an iPod, iPhone, or iPad, and need help solving a problem or have discovered new things you can do with your device, if you have found a special piece of software or an app you can share, or just want to learn some new “tricks & tips” for Apple products, join us. 

On the Mac, we specialize in the iLife Suite, which includes iPhoto and iTunes, as well as email and surfing the Internet. We also can provide assistance with burning CDs and DVDs. Teaching is done with a hands-on approach, starting where the student is in his or her learning curve.

Mary Anna and JimMary Anna Rushia is shown here with one of her "students."  Mary Anna is the founder of the users group and has devoted a huge amount of energy to helping people with the computer as well as keeping the Computer Center Macs in good shape.  We thank her for her support.
