Rules at the SIG Site

Please, no food or drink. This will keep our place bug-free.

Please park on the south side of the parking lot, away from the Casa Stefano Restaurant. This is the favored tenant, who pays the highest rent. Our landlord gives us low rent with the condition that we make room for the restaurant's customers.

SIGs or Special Interest Groups

These groups meet once a month. Anyone is free to attend. No advance registration is necessary. See the calendar and write-ups in the newsletter, "Bits& Bytes", or on our website www.tccug.org. SIGs specialize in such topics as Windows, Internet, Investment, Genealogy, etc. These meet usually at Sandpiper Plaza, but some meet at libraries. See "Bits & Bytes" or our website for details.

Classes

From time to time courses of two or more lessons are given on consecutive weeks. They may be on Photo Enhancement, Word Processing, Computing 101 (a beginning computer course) or other topics. If advance registration is required it will be announced. These meet at Sandpiper Plaza.

Computer Lab

Computer Lab now meets at our meeting place, Sandpiper Plaza, Port St. Lucie and meets every Wednesday from 7-9 PM. Experienced club members help new computer users on individual problems. This is the only "hands on" instruction we are able to offer.

Bits & Bytes
