Special Presentation
(hybrid meeting – on-site and remote)

10:00 – 11:00 am 

In May, Judy Taylour will present “The Cloud is Here – Don’t Get Left Behind“.
Are you using the Cloud? Many people still answer, no, but you’ll be surprised when you find out how much we are all using the Cloud and how much more is out there that we can take advantage of.
With all our computers, smart phones and tablets, how can we keep our data files in sync on all of them and share files with family, friends and associates?
How can we use cloud storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and others to make things easier?

Join us live, or remotely at https://bit.ly/3Ibtuqs.
