Founded in 1982, the Tucson Computer Society (TCS)
is a group of more than 600 home users, business people,
and entrepreneurs who share problems, solutions, ideas,
and information about a wide range of personal computer
PC hardware and software. Monthly General
Meetings and a variety of Special
Interest Groups (SIGs) provide
forums for members to improve their knowledge about
computer-related subjects. Please view and distribute our descriptive brochure.
Membership is
open to all, which makes TCS resemble a family with
members in all stages of user experience—beginner,
intermediate, and expert. All are seeking to increase
their understanding of PCs and to advance their skill
levels. And all have gained much from the benefits
of membership. Many of our members have an active and/or passive
"Web presence".
The club has a long and distinguished history. Through
the years, our monthly publication called the eJournal of
the Tucson Computer Society, this Web site, and
some of our members have been recipients of several
awards. Our online archive of past journals is a detailed record of both our history and the history of desktop personal computing in general.
The Board of Directors, acting
under the authority of the TCS
Bylaws, has general supervision and administrative
authority over the affairs of TCS. TCS members are invited
to attend the monthly Board of Directors meetings. The
date, time and location of the meetings are posted on
the TCS Calendar
of Events. Members are encouraged to keep informed
about the actions of the Board of Directors. Minutes of board meetings are also available to TCS Members via the website or subscription
to the Minutes Listserv.
TCS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and is affiliated
with the Association of
PC User Groups and the Arizona
Alliance of Computer Clubs.
Many of our members participate in various computer recycling efforts in the Tucson area. A list of of these activities is located at the Tucson Clean and Beautiful Web site. On this list, you will find links to Pima Computer Recycling, Computer Renaissance, and World Care which are all exemplary recyclers of old computer equipment. Some of the members of the Tucson Computer Society volunteer at World Care.
