Historical April 1984 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
The public is invited to a presentation by Joseph Foster of IBM on the educational uses for the IBM computers: the PC and the Jr.
The meeting will be held on April 12 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Roch’s Church Hall.
The presentation is the culmination of work by a committee named by Father Polizzi to look at the educational uses of computers for St. Roch’s School as well as the administrative and management applications for the parish and school.
The Archdiocese is in the process of arranging for a mainframe computer system for administrative functions of parishes and schools.
The committee made a first presentation to the St. Roch’s School Association in January.
At that time, it was requested that a representative from IBM come to another meeting, and present some concrete information on the systems available.
The Archdiocesan program includes the potential of individuals purchasing computers as well as the schools and rectories.
Thus, all the neighbors who have an interest in the question concerning computers in education and in the home are welcome at this April meeting.
If there are any questions, please call Ray Breun at 863-0750.
The members of the committee are: Andrew Dorris, Ed Gotway, Marge Weir, Jean Ducker, Terry Vanicelli, and Ray Breun.
