Story Award

The Outstanding Story Award went to Elsie Conolly, from the Westport course. This is what she had to say.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to attend computer in homes course. At the age of 79 I was a bit apprehensive about joining having no computer skills at all. Because of the excellent Tutor I soon felt able to use my computer which I bought once I felt confident.

What a difference it has made for me. Having retired recently it has opened up a whole new interest for me. It is wonderful to be able to Skype my family who don’t live near Westport. It is like having them home in my lounge
Also with Google if I need to find some information it takes only a few minutes. And emailing family and friends is so easy.

Thank you “Computer in Homes” for opening up a new life for me. I used to be quite sad at not receiving mail from family as no one seems to write letters any more, now I can hear from and talk to them every day.

Thank you Jeannie, a task well done.
