Computer workshops offered at Soul Café

All are welcome to a series of three free consecutive computer workshops at the Soul Café beginning Saturday, Feb. 12, from 10 a.m. to noon, led by Cory Bartlett. Attendees are asked to bring a laptop if possible, but it is not mandatory.

Saturday’s topics include the basics of Internet security and social networking, secure browsing, phishing, scams, Facebook basics and other issues, as questions arise.

The Feb. 17 topics are the basics of Microsoft Office for use at home or in the workplace and other topics determined during the first meeting.

During the Feb. 24 session, participants will cover an introduction to Windows 10 and upgrades. The meeting will also discuss the first two workshops.
