From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since 1982, the Sarasota Technology Users
Group* (STUG) has been a volunteer organization. Founded
by a volunteer, managed by a group of volunteers, educated in
computers by yet other volunteers. Some of the volunteers
had/have public education in what is called computer science and
still volunteer their time, talent and expertise.
Skill levels of our members range from "I don't know how to turn the
'thing' on" to "let me show you how to disassemble and
reassemble this device blindfolded, in a closet, in 27 seconds".
The truth is we're all still learning and none of us know
everything.
Many of us have learned the quickest way to become
proficient in something is to teach it to others. If
you're not quite comfortable on your own with a given subject, volunteer
to assist another Instructor or find someone to team-teach with you.
Above all, get involved! We have many needs for which we need
your help! Logistics and member/visitor assistance on General
Meeting night for example. Or assisting with classes throughout
the month or the Refurbishing Group or a host of other tasks.
Don't be shy... ask! think altruism and enjoy the
rewards!
*formerly known as Sarasota PC Users Group (SPCUG)
considered an altruistic activity,
intended to promote good or improve human quality of life."
