1) General Interest

Special Event: Chuck Oppermann Speaks - THIS THURSDAY
Thursday, January 3rd, 7-9pm at the Resource Center

Chuck gave a dynamite presentation last week, AND we prevailed upon him to speak again THIS week.  He's going to do something akin to "Top 10 Windows Vista Tips & Tricks".  This will be completely different material than what he did last week.

Chuck was a force in Pinellas computing (as well as a TBCS member) before he moved to Seattle and went to work at Microsoft on a product called Windows 95. We always pack the Resource Center for his informative and entertaining presentations. Afterwards we will be moving the party to O'Keefe's for some adult libations, conversation, and much laughter.  Sorry, but this one is for TBCS members only.

Microsoft Movie Maker by Jan McNulty

Windows Movie Maker is a free download (for WinXP users) from Microsoft.  It's an excellent tool for editing your home movie clips together and adding in narration and music.  Jan will show how to create a movie from the very beginning.  We have Microsoft Movie Maker on one of our A/V Lab computers so you can start learning how to use that software here.

Monday, January 14th, 10am-1pm  $15
This is a hands-on class.  You MUST register in advance.

Photo Story 3 is the FREE software that comes from Microsoft that helps you to build movies from your photos.  Jan will show you how to put YOUR photos together with narration and/or music to amaze and amuse your friends.  Not only can you get very professional looking results, but the software is really very easy to use.

Scrapbooking by Jan McNulty
Monday, January 21st,  10-noon  $10
This is not a hands-on class.  Please register in advance.

I will show you in detail how you can make your photos tell a story plus look great... how you can create a great intro to your story using Windows Movie Maker or Windows Photo Story.  Lots of fun... plus those that attended the first Scrapbook SIG will learn more details of what you can do with your photos.  Jan

Please do not confuse Jan's Scrapbooking CLASS which costs $10 with her Scrapbooking SIG which is FREE.
