Welcome to The Villages Computer Club

LATEST SPECIAL NOTICE

The Villages Computer Club’s goal is to help our members learn together by attendance at Club Meetings and help others to help themselves. We offer Presentations and Problem Solving sessions at each meeting. We will periodically have workshops for discussion within special interest groups to further peer-to-peer idea exchange.

Please see the Meetings & Presentations page for detailed information and weeks we will not meet due to either holidays or schedule conflicts with the facility.

Our meetings are open to Village Residents and Guests who have valid Villages-issued guest passes. Visitors (having a Villages ID or Guest Pass) are welcome and are entitled to one free meeting per calendar year.

The format of our regular meetings is as follows:

12:30 – 1:00  Help with problem solving questions
Our Gurus are at a table at the back of the room to take your questions before the meeting – you do not have to fill out a form. They will research your problem during the presentation and answer it after the break. We are trying this to better communicate and reduce the amount of extra questions during the answer process and give you better answers. So, if you have a computer question please bring it to the table at the back of the room between 12:30 and 1:00pm

1:00 – 1:10  Greeting and announcements
1:10 – 2:00  Presentation
2:00 – 2:15  Break for refreshments followed by 50:50 and door-prize drawings
2:15 – 3:00  Problem solving session

Finding a Home for your Old Computer
While the VCC is not in the business of refurbishing computers, we do encourage and facilitate the donation of computer equipment to a sub-group of VCC club members, the Villages Computer Refurbishment Group.

The Refurbishment Group only accepts computers running Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10.  They also accept flat-panel monitors.  They do NOT accept printers.

You may drop off the computers at any of the club’s Friday meetings where they will be collected and given to the refurbishing group. This equipment is then repaired and restored for use by needy residents of our area.

The VCC does not provide a receipt for tax deduction purposes for any donated equipment. To contact the Villages Computer Refurbishment Group please email them at this address: TVCRGroup@gmail.com
