Minutes of the January 22, 2003

New Jersey Computer Club General Meeting

• The regular monthly General Meeting of the New Jersey Computer Club was held at the North Branch Reformed Church starting at 6:30 PM. There were 32 members and guests in attendance.

• John Beck led another very active “Random Access” Q&A period with Rich Byrne, Doug Beck and Jim Russ assisting him. This regular meeting feature continues to be extremely popular and well received by our membership and guests.

• Fred welcomed all present.

• The prior Minutes and Treasurer’s Reports were approved as posted on the NJCC website.

• Fred read portions of a very nice letter from the NBRC Building and Grounds Committee Representative regarding the usage of the NBRC Fellowship Hall. They have a professional cleaning service that does an excellent cleaning job on the facility, and the NJCC is responsible to keep the facility clean and in good repair! This includes returning chairs and tables to their proper storage space, cleaning of any food spills, turning out lights and locking doors at the end of the meeting, keeping the closet neat, etc.

• John Beck announced the programs for the February 12th and March 12th meetings. Details may be found on the njcc.org website.

• John Beck, 2nd Vice-president and Program Director of the New Jersey Computer Club, then made a presentation on the “Practical Uses of the Internet” showing how virtually everyone has a need to use the Internet for their daily activities. His presentation covered uses that involve Shopping, Travel, Dining, Maps and Directions, Phone Numbers, Sports, Health, Search Engines, Investments, Software Vendors, Music and Videos, General Information, and other areas of interest to all.

• The meeting adjourned at 9:10 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

Fred Sabin

President
