FLOATERS OFFERS FREE COMPUTER TRAINING
By Barry Weller

Floaters ?– Just what is that? We are in a desert, you know! Well, we are talking about a different kind of floaters! Let?’s look a bit deeper.

Floaters is mostly a volunteer organization facilitated by some knowledgeable organizations, such as the ASU education department. They are dedicated to helping people who do not normally have access to computers and the benefits of computer knowledge. Their roots are diverse, but this aspect is most interesting to me. I can attest to the enthusiasm and commitment behind their mentoring program, and support their efforts whenever possible.

Free bilingual computer and Internet training classes are being offered at a newly opened facility named Casa de Amor Community Technology Center. It is located at 819 S. MacDonald, on the SE corner of MacDonald and 8th Ave.

For more detailed information, if you do have access to a computer, you can visit www.floaters.org/, or E-mail Vince at mesavince@hotmail.com, or floaters@asu.edu. You may also E-mail Barry Weller, Co-Chair of NCRA, at bweller@parknelco.com.
