Next Meeting, February 1st

Members, It is so hard to believe that January is over and our next meeting is February 1st.  Instead of the standard business and open mike night, we are excited to have Dave Krammer talk to us about "Digital Assistants".  Major tech companies have invested in AI-driven and voice interactive home assistants in a quest to make our digital lives more convenient.  You have heard of Siri and Cortana... how about Echo and Dot?  This will be a great opportunity to see if these will be something you want to consider as your new "great" gadget.  

Don't forget to come to the Front Parking lot for group pictures on Tuesday at 1:00.  We want to look good!  The more the better.  

One more important notice... since we are losing Joellen at the end of the season we will be closing the Yahoo group and going to a blog which can be a notification and a repository for information from programs and other Internet information and links of interest.  

Please go to RCW PC Club Blog at http://rcwpcclubblog.blogspot.com/  and enter your email address in the Follow By Email  box.  When you receive a verification message please follow through the instructions.  This way whenever there is a new post or notification you will receive it via your email. 

Hope to see you Wednesday.
