Join us April 24th - and about free computer classes

New art! I will probably change it again.

Our next meeting 

We at the BGAMUG Computer Club have a great presentation planned for our next meeting on April 24th. It's all about making wills and how to plan ahead for your family.

For some of us, this presentation is very timely. I know I have put redoing my will on my Must Do Soon List.

 As usual, guests are very welcome at the BGAMUG Computer Club meeting! Tell them Betsy set you.  

Free Computer Classes 

I list all the free computer classes each week on my Betsyanne site "From the Garden Spot plus BG Events." 

You can check there to find free computer classes offered by the library each week.

I hope everyone is having a great week!
