"One to One" Instruction

The Siena Computer Club initiated a new program of "One to One" instruction. This is a program whereby "members" of the Computer Club may request a one hour, "One to One" instruction with a knowledgeable Club Member on any subject involving programs/operation of the computer. The fee for this service is $10.00 for the hour session payable to the Computer Club. Sorry, no home visits! Siena residents who are nonmembers of the Computer Club may join the Club to take advantage of this offer.

The Education Director will coordinate and match up resident members with club members at a time convenient to both parties. To request this service: 1) Complete a request form at the front desk; 2) Complete the request form on the Computer Club Website; or 3) Stop in the Computer Lab and request the form.

Special Note: Unfortunately any Computer Club members retaining $12.00 certificates; as of 12/31/09, the certificates are no longer valid for credits toward computer classes presented by the Computer Claprilub. Certificates are not valid for the One to One instruction.
