Internet Access for the Apsley area had its beginnings in the Computer Club.  Janice Griffith wrote the original grant proposal to the Federal Government, and the grant received made it possible to work with Bancom in providing access to the World Wide Web.  The grant also made it possible to secure high speed connections at the Library and to start the Life Long Learning Centre.  People like Bill Dulmage and Terry Youmans, through their outstanding volunteer efforts, made all this possible.  The Internet Access Committee, which Janice Griffith chaired, was instrumental not only in the securing of Internet Access, but also in the establishing of computer training at the Library.  All of these benefits can be traced directly to the work of the Computer Club.

    Meetings continue to present information of interest to the members who typically average 18 to 25 in number at meetings.  Subjects now cover things like the Internet, Digital Photography, Virus Protection and Hardware considerations to name just a few of the topics.  There is a question and answer period at each meeting to allow for the interchange of problems and experience between attendees.

    Meetings are open to the public and are held on the first Thursday of the month at either the Apsley Library or the Glen Alda Community Centre (members are advised in advance, of the location of the next meeting).  Membership is just $10. per family per year.  At the last meeting of the season in June and in December, we meet at Glen Alda for a Pot Luck Supper which is always a big success and enjoyed by all.  New members are always welcome.
