July 22 meeting on using Videos on YouTube

This month's presentation will be on how to use videos on YouTube.com.  You may have followed a link that someone sent to see a Youtube.com video. Come find out how to use your browser and search engines to find other instructive videos there. There are instructional as well as funny videos on Youtube. You can find everything from how to fix a dripping faucet, how to copy and paste on a PC or use that new cell phone.  Jerry Gillette, the club treasurer, will be the presenter. This month's meeting is at Home Instead's Training Center near Greenwood Mall, right off the Gary Farm entrance from Campbell Lane. Go past the bank and the the second door of the strip mall is the Home Instead Training Center.

June 24th Meeting 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

at Home Instead Senior Care Training Center

Our June meeting will held at our new meeting place the Home Instead Training Center, Bowling Green, KY. Their address is 2475 Scottsville Rd, Suite 100. But if you try to find it from that you will be confused.  Instead head into the Greenwood Mall on the Gary Farms Rd entrance from Campbell Lane. Go past the bank and the the second door of the strip mall is the Home Instead Training Center.

BGAMUG Votes to Meet at Home Instead Senior Care Training

Past President Jerry Gillette put it this way, "Never before in the history of BGAMUG has the membership been able to vote on a meeting location."

With two potential meeting places, the club met in April at the Hillvue Heights Church and in May at Home Instead Training Center. The majority of the members have voted to hold meetings at Home Instead. From Campbell lane turn on Gary Farms Rd toward the Greenwood Mall. Go past the bank and in the first building on the left is Home Instead's training facility.  If you go as far David's bridal go have gone too far.

Please join us at the next meeting on June 24th at 6:30 PM.

March 25th Meeting will be held at the Kentucky Musuem 1400 Kentucky St at 6:30 PM

Reminder! We have a new meeting place at the Kentucky Musuem, 1400 Kentucky St at 6:30 PM. If you are able park across the street from the musuem and save the close parking spaces for those that can't walk as far.  As you drive into the parking lot from the street, look to the left. There are a number of spaces there just for the musuem.

February 25th meeting at 6:30 pm is at Kentucky Musuem

Reminder! We have a new meeting place at the Kentucky Musuem, 1400 Kentucky St at 6:30 PM. If you are able park across the street from the musuem and save the close parking spaces for those that can't walk as far.  As you drive into the parking lot from the street, look to the left. There are a number of spaces there just for the musuem.

Tuesday night's program is by Jeri Steele on Making Windows 8 behave (like Windows 7). As more and more people buy new computers they will be getting them with Windows 8.  The new Operating System is already on version 8.1 and is in my experience been very stable.  But the interface was designed more for touch screen so it's no obvious what to do to get other programs installed, etc. Come see one way to survive at Windows 8.
