• Ability to use a keyboard to copy and paste 

• Ability to use a mouse to double-click and left-click, click-and-drag and highlight text, and scroll 

• Ability to navigate file directories, open and rename files 

• Knowledge of how to use a flash drive 

• Patience using a computer for up to an hour

These events acknowledge holidays and other occasions that are valued in our community.

By including these days, we hope that you
