New Lab Coordinator
Brian Castagne Hi, I’m Brian Castagne. I’ve had such a fabulous time presenting workshops here over the last few months that, well, you’ve got me hooked. I’m delighted to sign on as the new Computer Learning Lab Coordinator.  I’ve met with Leon, Lynne, Randy and others to take a fresh look at how we want to use the lab. We are scheduling new workshops, designing original lesson plans, and exploring ways to make the computers easier to use. We hope to make it a vibrant and inviting place for tutors, learners, and all of our community to stop by and do some cool stuff.
Computer Giveaway!

Project Read will be getting at least one computer from Logan Mein of Resource International, the company in Bayview-Hunter's Point that donated a computer for the Holiday Party Potluck. We want to give the computer to a Project Read learner who is interested in owning one. To choose that learner, we’ll have a special drawning. For information, call Project Read at 415-557-4388 or click here to send an email message.

Donate Your Computer!

If you have an old computer that you no longer use, consider donating it to Project Read. Through an arrangement we have with Resources International, a local company that refurbishes computers, we can trade donated computers, monitors, keyboards, printers, etc. for working computer systems that we can give to Project Read adult learners for whom purchasing a functioning computer system would be a financial hardship. Even if your computer is outdated by current standards, it can still be valuable for parts. And your donation in tax deductible to the extent allowed by the law. What could be better?
