President's Message

When asked if I would like to be the next president of the Computer Club, I thought to myself this job is a "no win" position in that I would be replacing two legends. No one remembers who replaced the famous Green Bay football coach Vince Lombardi or the equally famous basketball coach John Wooden. For the last four years, Len Carniato and Terry Rooney have molded our Computer Club into one of the most popular clubs in Lincoln Hills. We now take for granted Ask-The-Tech, post meeting social gatherings, and many more exceptional activities that make our club unique. These two computer giants have shared their vast talents with our members generously and selfishly with nothing but the satisfaction of helping others as their singular reward.
Several factors influenced my decision to become the President of the Computer Club. First, I’ve been exposed to computers all of my adult life and feel comfortable using them, as well as, helping others learn how to benefit from them. Secondly, I have had three year’s experience in managing the Lincoln Hills Genealogy Club. Thirdly, I knew that I would be surrounded by a group of outstanding professionals that comprise the Computer Club’s Board of Directors.
Lastly, and most importantly, I felt that it was my turn to step forward and “payback” the Computer Club for all the enjoyment that it has given to me.
Our Club consists of nearly three hundred families, but only a handful of you are involved in the administration and operation of the Club. Each of you uses your computer in a unique way. My first task as your new President will be to persuade each of you to share your favorite computer programs, websites, and individual abilities with the rest of our membership. Remember, this is your club and we need each of you to contribute to the overall success of the Club.
Although Len and Terry will have diminishing roles in the Computer Club, you’ll still see them around. They will continue to alternately moderate the Ask-The-Tech sessions and, if we’re lucky, to be a General Meeting presenter from time to time.
The next time you see Len and Terry, please let them know how much you appreciate their enormous contributions to our Club.
Looking forward to working with each of you.
Bob Ringo
