"Digital Scrapbooking" with Bill Smith - THIS WEEK
One of the hot new trends that is an outgrowth of digital photography
and computer digital editing. The results are colorful, often
artistic, and yet don’t require creative training or an art education.
Bill will describe the types of digital scrapbooking effects.
He will also show how to create effects such as tags, backgrounds, and
patterns.

WEDU
Pledge Drive
Monday, June 4, 7-10 PM in Tampa: 1300 N Boulevard, Tampa 33607
We're going to
take a crew of 12 volunteers to WEDU's studio to take incoming phone
pledges during their pledge drive. The first hour is orientation and
food (pizza, drinks, & chips) followed by 2 hours of answering the phones.
We had a great time doing this last year. The food
is good, we get to see how a TV show is produced, and we raised over
$10,000 for WEDU. They have since built a new studio, and they have
computerized the pledge system. All we have to do is to type the
pledge info into the computers that they will provide - should be a walk
in the park for us.
Please come out and join us for this event. It's a
lot of fun for a good cause. The station is easy to find, has a
large parking lot (with security), and we'll set up a car pool for those
who don't want to drive. We still need more volunteers.
If you are interested in
joining us, please send an email to the
Club Secretary.
