Computer user groups like Bowling Green Area Microcomputer User Group (BGAMUG) frequently do more than just help their dues paying members. Often they provide services and support, usually within their communities, through a variety of programs. Unfortunately, many BGAMUG members know virtually nothing about the program recipients, except for some groups outside our community. We do know, for example, who we were helping in New Orleans because that was clearly and explicitly explained by Gene Iglehart. Not so for local organizations. In an attempt to enlighten members about who our club is helping locally, and about the sort of help that we are giving, some explanations will be given in BGA-Bytes articles over the next few months. This month’s focus is on Fern Terrace Lodge. Next month the focus will be on Able Court Apartments. Other non-profits will be explained later. We hope that enlightening members about our community service programs will induce some additional members to volunteer for help with these programs.
Fern Terrace Lodge is an assisted living facility located on Shive Lane in Bowling Green. It has a computer laboratory as a featured benefit for its residents. BGAMUG’s role in supporting Fern Terrace is to provide assistance in that lab for two hours each Friday afternoon.
