The Tea will be held at Mary Greene's and all members are invited. Please let Mary know if you will be attending.

To continue, we will be collecting food for the Second Harvest pantry. Donations should consist of non-perishable food items and boxed tissues, toilet paper, toothpaste etc. You ladies have been very generous in the past and I know that is much appreciated.

You can pay for one or get this highly rated one for free: AVAST Go to this website: http://www.avast.com/ Just make sure you pick the FREE version. Allow updates which are free not upgrades which cost money. They will occasionally try to upgrade you to a paid version with more features, but the free one should be all you need. You want AVAST to update automatically so that when a new virus comes out, your computer is protected. 2. Use a Registry Cleaner occasionally. The Registry is like the index/table of contents for your computer. As you create, delete, and move files as well as install and uninstall programs, the Registry can get really “messy”. A cleaner eliminates out of date info which helps your computer work more quickly. A great free one is CCleaner. Go to this website: https://www.piriform.com/ You can also use this program to uninstall programs from your computer, to delete junk files from your web browser and computer, and to set the programs that are part of your computer startup so it boots faster. Again, update (free) not upgrade ($$). Questions?
