The Gleneagles Computer Club was started in 1989 with 6 to 8 members and has grown to over 350 members. The purpose of the club is to provide training, assistance and share information about current computer software, hardware, viruses and other computer issues. ALL GLENEAGLES RESIDENTS ARE WELCOME and ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE.
From 2:30 to 4:30 pm, we provide general current computer information followed by a Program
featuring a guest speaker on various computer topics of current interest.
Meetings conclude with an open “Questions and Answer” session.
Our club members maintain this web site ( www.gleneaglescomputer.org ) where you can view and print the many Handouts and Tutorials we have available. In addition, a number of our members are available to "help" other "Members" with basic computer problems. To be a "Member" of the Gleneagles Computer Club, print and forward our Application with your $15.00 per person dues for the season.
Last year, 2007-2008, over 300 members attended 600+ hours of Classes at our Computer Center located in the Lomond Hills Satellite. Classes ranged from the very Beginner to more Advanced users and included hands-on use of a Club wireless laptop computer plus a programmed set of instructions. A complete group of classes are planned beginning in September, just as soon as construction is completed on our "State of the art" computer center. We will be adding more new computers, new custom furniture, a chalk board, better visual display ( a 52" HD LCD TV ) and a complete new decor. This is the only facility of its kind in this area, and is a tribute to the Computer Club Educational committee and the Country Club Board of Governors and Management. Everyone is dedicated to making this coming season "better than ever".

We are a chapter of the Boca Raton Computer Society and encourage our members to join BRCS as well. BRCS meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30pm, South County Civic Center, Jog Road. Members and non-members are welcome to attend their very informative meetings. BRCS maintains a series of Special Interest Groups (SIG's), which meet at various evenings during the month. These groups help those who want to learn more about specific programs or software applications.
Many of our monthly meeting speakers and programs are supplied by BRCS. They also have a web site, http://www.brcs.org where you will find the latest up to date information.
You may print a Gleneagles or BRCS Membership Application from this web site or we will be happy to supply one on request. Send an e-mail including Name, Address, Telephone and E-Mail address to: GleneaglesComputer@Comcast.net. We look forward to seeing you at our classes and meetings.
