Looking for something to do this summer ~~~ and beyond? Would you like to join the developing technological world right at home on your own computer and learn how to participate in face-to-face video calls with your friends?

This is not one of those "make a million right in your own home" schemes, it is a project being done right here in Guelph through the sponsorship of Harcourt Church, and you are invited to participate.

This is the proposal offered to CFUW Guelph to join with many groups in Guelph who are participating:



We would be delighted if some of the CFUW Guelph's members would be interested in being Skypers. They may also know of people who could benefit from having someone Skype with them.

Terry McDonald is our Facilitator and Daniel Welch is the Communications Assistant. They will come and visit with anyone who is interested in participating and will set up the Skyping program on the person’s computer, explain how it all works and provide support as needed. We hope that we will have a clear idea as to how useful Skype is as a communication tool in reducing social isolation by the end of this project (January 2011). There are many applications of using Skypes within the service provider and business community, so we hope that our project results will be useful.

Inside the Guelph Sikh Temple

Honouring the Guru Granth Sahib

Members

On Monday, May 10, members and guests of the Civic Affairs Interest Group were privileged to visit the Sikh Temple on Stevenson Street. A thumbnail sketch of the tenets of Sikhism were delightfully presented to us after we were welcomed with a light refreshment. The plans for the building of the new temple on Clair Road were discussed, and a lively exchange of questions and answers followed. Twenty of our members attended.



Fort York Field Trip

On Saturday, April 10, members of the International Focus Interest Group toured Fort York.

They learned about Canada - U.S. conflict early in the nineteenth century, saw the defences in place against land and naval attack, and got some idea of the daily life of a soldier posted at this fort.

The visit ended with dinner at a restaurant built on the landfill that used to be Lake Ontario.

When You Receive a Warning or an Appeal in an E-mail
Before forwarding any warning or appeal, especially if "send this to as many of your friends as possible immediately" is contained in the message, try going to one of the sites below and typing key words(usually from the subject line of the email)into the search engine and see what comes up.

You will be able to determine if the warning/appeal is true and should be forwarded, or,if it is a hoax and should just be deleted.

So Successful has the Snopes site become that now even erroneous e-mails include the line, "I have already Snoped this. It is true." In fact, the opposite usually is true. If the email in question includes that line, it is all the more reason for you to check it out yourself on the Snopes site before forwarding it!
