32 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2020 Computer Group Our May meeting was a Zoom conference-style presentation. I would venture to say that we are getting a lot more comfortable with using Zoom video conferencing for meetings and other aspects of our life. Francis Chao, of the Tucson Computer Society, gave an overview of using Free Cloud Storage. He discussed how to use cloud storage services to store data files and digital photos for free. One benefit of storing data files is reducing the chance of losing data files and photos due to hard-drive crashes and/or operator error. Another benefit is that it facilitates collaboration between multiple people working on the same project. Finally, it provides you with the ability to synchronize data files and digital photo albums between multiple computers, tablets, and cell phones. The subject of our June 9 meeting will be, "Troubleshooting Your Computer 101." Zoom in! Or contact Larry Workman at workman. larry@gmail.com if you have questions. ~ Larry Workman We meet on the second Tuesday of each month at 9:30 am in the RCN Room #3. Newcomers are always welcome, even if you haven't read the book. PLEASE NOTE: The book below has been rescheduled from a previous date due to the coronavirus. If the facilities remain closed, this book will be rescheduled again. The Book Club selection for June is The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris. Here is a brief description of the book from Amazon.com: "In April 1942, Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew, is forcibly transported to the concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau. When his captors discover that he speaks several languages, he is put to work as a Tätowierer (the German word for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners. Imprisoned for over two and a half years, Lale witnesses horrific atrocities and barbarism, but also incredible acts of bravery and compassion. Risking his own life, he uses his privileged position to exchange jewels and money from murdered Jews for food to keep his fellow prisoners alive. One day in July 1942, Lale, prisoner 32407, comforts a trembling young woman waiting in line to have the number 34902 tattooed onto her arm. Her name is Gita, and in that first encounter, Lale vows to somehow survive the camp and marry her. A vivid, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful re-creation of Lale Sokolov's experiences as the man who tattooed the arms of thousands of prisoners with what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust, The Tattooist of Auschwitz is also a testament to the endurance of love and humanity under the darkest possible conditions." Please join us when we discuss this book on Tuesday, June 9 at 9:30 am. Mary Lou Keating will be leading the discussion. For those of you who like to read ahead, our next book is scheduled to be The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware.

Unfortunately, it has also put an indefinite hold on travel since cruise lines, concerts, plays, theater, and events are still on hiatus with no definite resume dates. This means we all have a LOT of time on our hands. Had your fill of TV bingeing and searching for creative ways to keep busy? There are numerous sites on the Internet to explore new venues, take virtual travel trips, visit museums, try cooking classes or explore numerous other options. To start you off, here are four websites that have links to entertainment, travel, cooking, and more to help keep your mind occupied. www.cnet.com/news/free-entertainment-to-help-you-survive-coronavirus-social-distancing- april-27/ www.travelandleisure.com/travel-tips/fun-things-to-do-at-home-during-coronavirus-quarantine www.insider.com/free-things-online-while-at-home-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak-2020-3 www.youtube.com/ There are also creative staycations (fun things to do at home to stay busy). I recently conducted an "archaeological dig" in my garage by opening boxes that have been stored since moving in. I discovered treasures from childhood — both mine and my daughter's — that brought back memories and experiences which I shared with my daughter. If you have devised creative ways to keep busy and active and would like to share them with our members and residents, or if you know of other interesting websites, email your ideas and suggestions to irenewelker55@gmail.com. We will post the best on the Travel Group Facebook page and send by email. Until our trips include more than venturing out to the grocery store and around our community, stay safe, stay well. ~ Irene Welker Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time.
