The South Jersey Apple Users’ Group

has a Macs For Students Committee. Several members volunteer their time to take donated older Macs and printers, make sure they work together, and then donate them free of charge to students who are not able to afford them. Our workshops are held monthly, usually the first Sunday of the month, from noon until 4 pm. Since many of our members are elderly, we are in need of someone who can pick up and move the computers around so we can work on them. If you are a Macintosh user, and want to learn more about the Macintosh, we would willingly share our knowledge with you. Contact Rich at Rich22049@aol.com
