TVLA is offering its Basic and Intermediate Computer Skills programs throughout the fall and winter.  Here’s what you need to know to take part!

• Courses run for three weeks, four days per week from Mondays to Thursdays.
• Classes are FREE. (TVLA appreciates donations from those able to afford them, but we never ask for them in the class.)
