[Macwoburn-meetings] 11/17 Out of Africa—with Alan Field

[MacWoburn User Group]

Hi,

This month, we are especially fortunate to have Alan Field as our 
presenter. Alan is an educational consultant with a very special 
mission—to bring used Macintosh computers to South Africa! Alan has 
transported  100s of computers and equipment to schools. But even more 
importantly, he travels there on a regular basis to provide maintenance 
and training so that the machines are used by those who need them as 
much as possible.

Alan's unique commitment to better the lives of others by recycling 
computers serves as a beacon to those of us who let a computer sit on a 
shelf because it's too useful to throw away. It takes energy and vision 
to do the right thing. Alan will just have returned from his latest 
excursion to South Africa so please join us for a very special evening 
with a local hero.

For more about local Macintosh recycling, contact P.A.M. Borys at: 
macwoburn at mac.com. MacWoburn attempts to place used Macs in local 
schools, homes, and organizations and also has helped Alan locate 
computers for Africa.

MacWoburn is a group of people who use Macintosh computers who gather 
monthly at the Woburn Senior Center (144 School Street)  on third 
Wednesdays from 7–9PM to discuss and learn about new products, useful 
techniques, and to offer solutions to each other's technological needs.
