Prez Says for October 2024

Welcome to October, the month of ghosts, goblins, pumpkins, Halloween candy, and more football and more rain.  Are you planning something special for Halloween? 

On October 1st, we will have our Tech Corner and General Meeting in person at the North Bellevue Community Center and via Zoom. Our General Meeting program will be "How to Navigate the Digital Jungle" presented by Bob Gostischa.  

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a global initiative to educate individuals and organizations about online safety and security. As the digital world expands, so do the threats lurking online.

Bob Gostischa is a cybersecurity expert who can help you navigate the digital jungle and protect yourself from common cyber threats. Join us as we explore topics like:

Phishing attacks – Malware – Ransomware –
Spyware – Adware – DDoS attacks and more

Do you have questions about one of your computer devices or software? Join us in-person or via Zoom at 6:00 PM on October 1st for our Technology Corner.

If you want to learn more about Linux, visit Steve Herber at our Linux Special Interest Group hybrid meeting (in-person and Zoom combined) starting at 6:30 PM on October 8th.  Bring your Linux laptop to the Linux SIG.   The Linux Group also has a build-your-own server project Zoom meeting at 7:00 PM on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of October.

You are invited to attend the Digital Imaging Special Interest Group Meeting via Zoom with Sally Ann at 7:00 PM on Tuesday evening, October 22nd.  October’s topic is National Parks.

To keep up with technology, visit https://www.techforsenior.com to learn about their Monday morning meetings (9:00 AM PT), their Newsletter, and their Facebook page.

Be sure to download all security updates on all of your devices.

Please consider joining us at the North Bellevue Community Center for our October meetings. 

We still need a space to store and sort items for our Auction; a garage that holds cars that can be moved out for one half day in June would be great.

We welcome visitors!  Please encourage your friends to join KEGS, the Linux SIG, or the Digital imaging SIG.

I look forward to seeing you soon.
