In late 2004, she agreed to put together a scrapbook of the history of the club.

Bonnie is very grateful to the FCC for the opportunity to learn more about using a pc. She finds the members to be great people and very helpful.

Vance stepped up and volunteered to help with the equipment set-up prior to meetings and he has been in charge of our sound system ever since.  He is now a retired driver/salesman for Midway in Monroeville.  When asked, “How are you doing?”  Vance always replies “Fantastic!”  So, we’ve changed that to “Vantastic” ‘cause that’s what he is.
