Problem Solving Workshop Another source of help is this workshop which is held at the Church of the Nazarene, 210 Cooper Foster Park, Amherst on the 3rd Tuesday of each month.
Here other members can bring in their computers to get help from Micky Knickman, Neil Higgins or other LCCUG
helpers with installing various components, diagnosing and repairing problems, installing programs, etc.
Almost as important, you can watch and learn as repairs are being made, so that you can do some of these things
yourself the next time you run into a problem.

Just Plain Old Good Fun LCCUG is not only about learning; we also sponsor
some activities that allow
you to have a good time. But that
doesn’t mean you
can’t take the opportunity
to ask a question or two at these fun events. We have a picnic each
summer,
usually at Mill Hollow. The club provides hamburgers and hot dogs, while
members bring side dishes.
The club enjoys a night at the theater when we buy out the house at Workshop
Players Theater in Amherst. All
who attend always have a good time.
Members spend all year collecting items that they can bring to the Christmas
party for the Chinese Raffle. Here’s
another event where members share their
food specialties and we all have a good time. Second Harvest also benefits
from this activity, since all donations collected this evening are given to them.
