websites LCAP (h p://lcap.org/computer‐classes/ ) or LCCS (h p://www.lccsohio.org/class%20schedule.htm ).
In March we will be oﬀering our “Computers for the Total Beginner” class. This is a free class to get you started. All the rest of the
classes have a very reasonable fee of only $20 for 12 hours of instruc on. Registra on and sign‐up for seniors takes place with
Janet and fees are due before the first class. If you have a friend that hasn't quite crossed over the “senior line”, they can sign‐up
through the Licking County Computer Society by contac ng: John Kennedy, lccs.freejohn@gmail.com . We'll also be oﬀering a
class for new Windows 8 users that want to learn how to “Compute Using the Modern/Metro Screen”. For those with more
computer experience and who want to know even more, there's the “Beyond the Basics: What's Next?” class. This is for both
Windows 7 and Windows 8 users and is a more advanced class. For those interested in the free Linux opera ng system, there will
be an “Everyday Compu ng with Linux” class where students will do all the normal computer work that can be done on a
Microso Windows computer, but doing it on the Linux computer instead (and for free). During the April session, we'll be oﬀering
a new intermediate level class for those that want to “Compute from the Microso Windows Desktop”. This is a class that will go
beyond the beginners class and help students get full use out of their computers from the tradi onal desktop. This will be for both
Windows 7 and Windows 8 users. For the current Linux user we will have another class where students learn to use the command
line for diﬀerent tasks and other more advanced prac ces. Addi onally we hope to oﬀer both an “Exploring the Internet” class
and the “Communica ng with E‐mail” class during either March or April. Our final two classes to be oﬀered (if there's enough
interest) will be a “Word Processing” class and a “Spreadsheet” class. If anyone is interested in either the Word Processing or
Spreadsheet class, you are asked to call Janet (740‐345‐0821) and get on the “interested list”.

These three are on the prowl for new ac vi es and clubs that would like to call Heritage Hall their

Joan Cordi (far le , front) celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends from
the LCAP Pataskala Dining Site at a local pizza restaurant over the winter. Joan’s son,
Vince, joked it was really a celebra on of 1,200 months, which translates into 100
years. She is known as one of Central Ohio’s original “Rosie the Riveters” who
worked to manufacture planes during World War II. She actually worked on the plane
flown by future President George H.W. Bush that crashed in the Pacific. Bush was
eventually pulled to safety by a nearby aircra carrier. Film of Bush’s rescue became
famous when it was used during his 1988 presiden al campaign.
