===== Additional Comments =====

empty spaces.

Cost
The cost for the 6-week session of classes is $25.
You must be a National SeniorNet member.

This $25 charge go to the local SeniorNet, and helps to defray the cost
of computers, printing manuals, advertising, postage, and other
SeniorNet operating expenses.  

SeniorNet Membership Fees -- which go to National SeniorNet -- are as
follows: 1 year = $40 per person, 2 years = $60 per person , 3 years =
$85 per person.

Features
Each class is instructed by a volunteer instructor who is assisted by
1-2 coaches. This ensures that each student receives personalized
attention.

Each student has their own computer station at which to work during
class. Students can also use the lab during open lab hours to practice
between classes.

In addition, each student receives a step-by-step work-along manual
which is theirs to keep, plus a diskette with practice exercises.

"What separates SeniorNet from other basic computer courses is its
focus on how older adults learn", according to Art Kline, chair of the
local Learning Center Council. "Classes are stimulating, fun, and
volunteer teachers and coaches make sure every student gets the
individual attention they need."
