Computer Classes

Computer classes are going to be given to EWGS members. There is no charge for these classes. Classes are limited to 20 each session and are filled on a first come basis so please email Miriam Midkiff (kidmiff@gmail.com) for the upcoming 2009 & 2010 sessions. Classes will be held in the Gates Computer Lab at the Spokane Public Library downtown on the 2nd floor. This is a new opportunity and we are still getting the classes and instructors set up so as they become known, you will be advised. A great way to begin your research basics and enable you to work more efficiently either from home or your library.
