A long awaited update

First off let me say I'm sorry for not keeping up with this but it's been crazy here at the Cyber Cafe. We started back in December with questions about our stability here at this location. Because we are operating under the help of a partnership. We have had some troubles with certain partners keeping up with rent, or electricity, phone... the like. We had some partners that cant pay there own bills never-mind help with ours. One of our biggest helpers is the State Representatives office which is joined to ours. We had heard a rumor that he might be running for Mayor and that he would not be using the office anymore, so we were a little nervous. That is no longer an issue.

A new semester of citizen schools is starting and I have been told that the new apprenticeships are fantastic. Do to time constraints I am unable to teach this semester but I have helped on a couple of projects.

501 tech club is still a big part of my constant search for more online resources. It's always good to meet people with the same interests and the same thirst for knowledge.

I'm keeping my trackstar.4teachers.org web-page up to date. If your helping with resumes there is some fantastic information.

The Cyber Cafe is now a full VITA site (Volunteer Income Tax Assistant). We have done about 20 tax preps so far and all seems well. We have had our first check up from the IRS to see how we are doing and we passed. By the way here is a reminder to get those taxes done soon and remember you most likely are eligible for the earned income credit or EIC. I did mine and got back 400$ so look in to it.

GCF Learn free has updated it page and added some new tutorials. If your interested in learning more about Excell, Acsess, Powerpoint, Word, ect.

I think that catches me up to date so if you have any questions please feel free to ask me. or you could contact me at willmart64@yahoo.com
