handout-page-icon The handout for the Getting the Most from GOOGLE program we recently presented in Lyme as part of our regular series there is available online for you to download and print out. The program featured tips for basic and advanced GOOGLE searches on the web.
This handout joins fifteen other handouts that are available for download, for free, from our ongoing program series. These are the two-page handouts that we use for the educational programs we regularly present. You can see the whole list of available handouts on our Workshop Handouts page; and, see the schedule for all of our upcoming programs on our Workshops and Lectures page. The next program in February is about getting started with PowerPoint.


Online Giving    Interaction.org is among many sites that are listing relief organizations that are helping the victims of the earthquake in Haiti; most can accept donations online. Interaction.org also has a page of guidelines about different ways to help.
   Google also has a Support Disaster Relief in Haiti page with straightforward links for donation as well as a link to a "Person Finder: Haiti Earthquake" page.


Community Discussion Lists In its mission to help facilitate conversation and communication among community members, ValleyNet manages several discussion forums for towns and special interest groups.
To subscribe to any of our discussion lists, find out more by visiting our Community Discussion Lists page. We currently sponsor discussion lists for the towns of Thetford, Norwich, Vershire, Fairlee, Bradford, Hartford, Hanover, Strafford and South Strafford, and Mascoma-area towns, a list for people interested in eating local foods ("Localvores"), and now a special discussion list for those involved with local nonprofits.

The ValleyNet Business Directory is a great way to find local businesses and their website, email, and contact information. Need a forester? how about a place for lunch, or an electrician? Check out the ValleyNet Business Pages, and if you have a business and would like to be listed, find out how to add your business to the ValleyNet Business Listings.

ECFiber   ValleyNet is working with The East Central Vermont Community Fiber Network to bring high-speed fiber-optic networking to 22 towns in Vermont. We're working to create a state-of-the-art high-speed network to carry cable television, telephone, and broadband Internet service to every home, business, and municipal office and school in each of these communities.
Find out more at www.ecfiber.net, and while you are there consider pre-registering for service to show your support for the project. Visit www.ecfiber.net/pre-register to see how easy that is.

Rules of Thumb - Eight quarts of dried beans will feed 100 people. Grind coffee beans three seconds for each coffee measure of beans. One pound of soybeans yields 2 1/2 pounds of tofu. Always store cans of baked beans upside down. And that's just the page on "beans". Rules of Thumb lists thousands of tidbits of rules of thumb (what they define as a rule of thumb is "a homemade recipe for making a guess") contributed to the site.

Community Technology Center The Community Technology Center is located in Lebanon and is sponsored by ValleyNet along with the Grafton County Senior Citizens Council to make computers, high-speed access, and computer help available to everyone.

The technology center is in the Grafton County Senior Citizens Council building in downtown Lebanon, on the corner opposite the Senior Center at 10 Campbell Street just off the green. The center is open for walk-ins 9am-4:30pm, Monday through Friday, free parking is available, it's on the bus route, and it is open to everyone.

The computer lab can be used for free by anyone who wants to use a computer with a high-speed Internet connection for web surfing, emailing, online learning, and more.

The technology center is staffed by helpful volunteers who are there to help those who are new computers and the Internet get started, and to help those who are more advanced but need some help with what they want to do.

The current staffing schedule at the Technology Center is as follows:

Wednesdays 9:30am - noon
Thursdays 9am - noon
At other times there will be no staff member there, but you are free to use the facility.

We're seeking additional adult and student volunteers who will help community members using the computer lab. Please see the ValleyNet listing at the ValleyNet Volunteer website for more information about these volunteer opportunities.

Here's a link to a Google map to the CTC at 10 Campbell Street in Lebanon.
