Your computer Learning Program

The Computer Learning Center (Computer LC) is dedicated to meeting the basic computer learning needs and interests of those who are new to computers or have more intermediate skills. It offers fee-based basic computer instruction at the Senior Center, as indicated below. Click here for Fees.

Computer LC upgraded!! The Computer LC has recently upgraded 8 of our older Windows XP computers to new Windows 7 computers. The center has retained 6 Windows XP computers for those wishing to use the Windows XP system.

We want to thank everyone who participated in the Computer LC survey. Your responses are being considered in the development of new classes such as sending and receiving email attachments, creating a simple database for recipes and greeting cards, brochures and flyers.

 If you have any additional suggestions/ideas you would like to share, please contact the registration office of the Computer LC by e-mail: paseniorcenter@olypen.com phone: 457-7004, or in person.
