LCCUG Mission Statement
Lorain County Computer Users Group (LCCUG) is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization dedicated to helping the community become skilled with computers by providing a public forum to educate, exchange information, share expertise, and solve computer-related problems
Membership This group was organized in 1990. In 2001, we became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Dues are $25.00 per year. Each additional member of the same household may join for $12.50 per year. To join LCCUG, register at the next meeting you attend. If you'd like to find out more about our monthly activities before you decide to join, check out the many pages on our website.
Monthly Presentations Unlike most other computer clubs, LCCUG provides 2 meetings each month at Gould Auditorium at the St Joseph Community Center in Lorain. These are always held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month. These presentations cover a variety of topics including program and product demonstrations by outside vendors or knowledgeable members, a working demonstration such as on hard drives , or a variety of topics of interest to computer users. Live One-on-One Help If you come between 5:30 and 6:30 before our meetings at Gould Auditorium, we have a computer set up in the hallway with various members willing to help you with your specific problems. Even if you don’t have a problem, many members pick up information just by watching other members’ problems being solved. If you are looking for an answer maybe a little quicker, then check out the Need Help?? column in the Interface LCCUG's monthly newsletter. Here you will find a list of various members willing to talk to you about various problems. Just check out the times available and the topics they are willing to help you with before making your callProblem Solving Workshop Another source of help is this workshop which is held at the Church of the Nazarene, 210 Cooper Foster Park, Amherst on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Here other members can bring in their computers to get help from Micky Knickman, Neil Higgins or other LCCUG helpers with installing various components, diagnosing and repairing problems, installing programs, etc. Almost as important, you can watch and learn as repairs are being made, so that you can do some of these things yourself the next time you run into a problem. www.LCCUG.com Yes, a very valuable benefit is our club homepage. Here you will find all the information concerning the monthly presentations at Gould and the various classes held throughout the community. Often follow-up information concerning the presentations is also posted on the webpage. We are in the process of storing many of the articles from the newsletter on the webpage also. You will also find links to current and back issues of the Interface, the club's monthly newsletter.Just Plain Old Good Fun LCCUG is not only about learning; we also sponsor some activities that allow you to have a good time. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take the opportunity to ask a question or two at these fun events. We have a picnic each summer, usually at Mill Hollow. The club provides hamburgers and hot dogs, while members bring side dishes. The club enjoys a night at the theater when we buy out the house at Workshop Players Theater in Amherst. All who attend always have a good time. Members spend all year collecting items that they can bring to the Christmas party for the Chinese Raffle. Here’s another event where members share their food specialties and we all have a good time. Second Harvest also benefits from this activity, since all donations collected this evening are given to them. Plus, members get all of the following benefits:
The following sponsors have provided financial, technical, or other support for the growth and continuing development of LCCUG. Look for them each month in our newsletter, Interface. If you patronize their businesses, be sure to identify yourself as a member of LCCUG. An Invitation  |
