College Offering Computer Classes For Seniors

Thu., March 18, 1999

The Community Colleges of Spokane’s Institute for Extended Learning is offering several short, non-credit computer courses for seniors 55 and older.

The basic courses are designed for those who have never used a computer or haven’t touched one in several years. Teachers will introduce the parts of a computer and the keyboard. Students will also learn to open, close and use some programs.

All classes are $14 and will be held on Fridays from 12:30-3:30 p.m. at the Hillyard Center Computer Lab, 4410 N. Market Street.

The first session, class No. 7837, will run from April 9-23. Class No. 7838 runs from May 7-21, and class No. 7839 runs from June 4-18.

Pre-registration is required. Call 533-3770 for more information.
