Summer Success at the Resource Opportunities Centre

Hello Everyone,

Since it appears that everyone is writing about their summer successes, I thought I should give you the lowdown of what went on here at the Resource Opportunities Centre. It was a busy and interesting summer for all of us here.

On top of our Summer Day Camps and Movie Nights which you have all heard about in previous blog posts (those who attiended those events had a blast of a good time) we also had kids and adults who were eager to use the computers for various reasons such as email, chatting and printing.

We were also involved in setting up a sort of "Satelite C@P Site" in the newly built Prospect Road Community Centre. During this process we got to set up the wireless network from scratch and then go about the process of securing the network and locking down the computers so that patrons with malicious minds would not be able to do anything harmful to the computers in the Centre. I was also able to help the folks at the PRCC out by adding thier list of Fall Programs to their website.

August was also a month of publishing. The Resource Opportunities Centre's quarterly news letter "The Prospective" was set to be published and issued by the end of the month. Part of July and most of August was spent collecting advertising from local businesses, and articles from various people about the various happenings in the communities stretching from Goodwood to West Dover. (those names probably mean nothing to you but that's ok)

After a month of intense editing and formatting, the August 2010 volume of "The Prospective" has been sent to the printers and will then be mailed out to residents of the Prospect Area...and then they can read about everything that has happened and is happening in the community at this time.

For the third consecutive summer it has been a blast for me to be able to work at the Resource Opportunities Centre this summer. An experience that will surely be missed once it comes time for me to hit the books again next week.
