Alamo PC Needs Your Help!You must get involved today! |
| Members often state a reluctance to volunteer
because they think you have to be a Computer Expert, but nothing could
be further from the truth! Alamo PC has Volunteer opportunities to fit
every skill level, from beginners to experts.
As a non-profit, educational organization, Alamo PC Organization Inc.'s, success or failure is dependent on the dedication and volunteer work of its members. Alamo PC's volunteers have helped the organization to achieve success as the second largest PC User Group in the United States. However, there is always more to do and new volunteers are always needed. If you can answer the phone, send faxes, make copies, take messages off of voice mail, or put on a friendly face at a trade show, you can make an important contribution to the continued success of Alamo PC. |

| Volunteer Telephone or E-mail Help Numbers: |
| Help numbers when you need them the most.
Members who have some familiarity with a particular software application, Operating System, or type of hardware, are encouraged to serve on the Volunteer Telephone or E-mail Help Committee. Most users requesting help have very basic questions. By volunteering, you not only help others, but you can learn from the experience and also get a good feeling doing it. Take a look at the "Help Numbers" directory in the PC Alamode to see the subjects currently covered. If there is a subject that you are interested in that is not listed, we can add it. If you can help with a title currently showing only one volunteer, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Committee members are listed in the monthly PC Alamode Magazine with either a phone number or e-mail address and specific days of the week and times of day that members may contact them for assistance. If you are interested in volunteering for this opportunity please: |

Instructors and Assistants: |
| Alamo PC offers Classes or Study Groups, as instructors and space becomes available. These classes may cover subjects such as Windows XP, Windows Vista, MS Word, MS Excel, MS Access, WordPerfect, the Internet, plus
several others.
We are also looking for instructors to teach short term (one to three sessions) on specific topics such as, scanners, buying a new computer, trouble shooting computer problems, etc. If you have expertise in a particular software application and enjoy teaching, this may be the opportunity for you. If you have only a basic familiarity with a software application one good way to gain more knowledge is by volunteering as a teaching assistant. |

any of these opportunities, please be sure to:
