User Groups

One of the primary functions of the Fox Valley Senior Computer Users Group is to provide a forum for people with similar interests to meet periodically and share ideas. Check the 'Meetings' tab for the time and location.

Resource Sharing
This group responds to the needs of the new and not so new persons to the world of computers. An open discussion format is the desired norm for this group. No question raised by any person is considered to trivial or complex for discussion. The sharing of computer knowledge can many times be the means of correcting a computer problem. Questions raised at this group meeting, provides a learning environment for the entire group. Persons beginning to enjoy the world of computers and those persons willing to share their experiences with computers are urged to attend this Special Interest Group. Experienced computer users who are attempting to solve computer problems also are urged to attend. The Resource Sharing Group is an example of individuals helping individuals to the highest degree.

We talk about browsers such as, Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox, etc, their similarities, difference, and security. All issues relating to the Internet are open for discussion. However, this is not a training class. You should be familiar with the Internet and be ready to exchange questions and experiences.

The Genealogy group meeting is a place to learn more about using computer programs for genealogy projects, learn more about genealogy Web sites on the Internet, meet others who want to exchange ideas and information about genealogy. We meet monthly, usually in the 3rd or 4th week of the month, at FVTC-Appleton.
