Refurbishing Project
SPCUG volunteers refurbish used computers and donate them to those who need a computer but cannot afford to purchase one. Examples of recipients:
|
School students |
After school programs |
|
Special student programs |
Single special needs parents |
|
Disabled individuals |
Adult education |
We wish to remind our SPCUG membership that anyone that they know who needs a computer, but can not afford to purchase one, should write a letter to David Winkelman explaining their situation. He will evaluate
the request to see if the individual qualifies for a donation. Write the letter to: David Winkelman, PC Refurbishing Project, 3951 Sawyer Road, Sarasota 34233. This is the location of the Refurbishing workshop.
