ABOUT US

MEMBERS
Our members are from the local communities of Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Mayer, Dewey-Humboldt, Paulden and surrounding areas in Central Arizona.

Anyone with an interest in computers is welcome to attend our meetings and join PCS.  Owning a computer is not a requirement for membership.

Our primary attention is focused on IBM-compatible computers and associated software but anyone with an interest in personal or small business computing will find both basic and advanced information by attending our club’s meetings.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Many PCS members are actively involved in computer-related functions associated with local community organizations.  For example, our members:

1.  Conduct various free computer mentoring programs at the Prescott Public Library.  By doing so, the students receive individual attention in working with public computers available at the Library.

2.  Assist veterans at the local Veteran's Affairs hospital with their various photography needs.

3.  Teach computer-oriented classes (typically at the beginner level) at Yavapai College either directly as instructors or through the OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) program.

4.  Collect used computer equipment and run a refurbishing operation which donates working computers to those individuals in need of them.

5.  Write short Question and Answer columns of general computer interest for inclusion in the local newspaper "The Daily Courier".
