The 'COMPUTER 4 KIDZ' Network
We have an exciting new program we are currently working up for all the small businesses that have computer
systems or small internal networks. We are in need of support for the many recreation centers, schools, and other places where
large groups of kids gather. We have put together a team of computer experts of many different talents. Some are great with PC
repairs, others are very good at networking computers, and others are wire experts and router experts. Our goal is to get as many
experts together donating their time to help the kids center grow. To do that, we need donations to buy software for the many
computer systems we will be installing in each of the centers. Our normal install is six computer systems fully loaded with software.
There are many free programs we can install on the computers that allow the kids to learn and play safely. But a couple programs have
to be purchased to make the computers legal. One is the Windows98 operating system and another is the Microsoft Office program so the
kids can do their homework and grow use to the software they will probably see later on in the workforce. Both of these programs will
have to be bough for all six computers in each center. Our average cost for software that must be purchased is around $400.00 per
computer lab. This is where our group of experts might help us out.
We are looking for offices willing to sponser a youth center install. We would like a donation to help cover the cost
of our software for the six computers and any other small items the center might need to get online such as hubs, cables, toner, etc.
For the sponsorship, the business will get a couple nice plaques, one for the recreation center, one for the business office. These will
show that the business sponsored that particular facility. We can also give out a tax credit for the donation. But the biggest
reward will be access to our staff of experts. Many times repairs can far exceed donation costs by the time you hire out a large
computer company to come look at and fix your office problem. In most matters our many different types of EXPERTS can help you get
your computer or network back up and operational. If we have the parts in stock, there is no charge to you. Any parts that need to be bought
we will buy at our discount rates for you. Maybe you just want a backup solution installed so you don't loose your critical data. Or it
may be your moving offices and need your new office wired up and the equipment moved. We can help with all of that and more.
This is a great win-win situation for both the small business and the local area kids. With the support of the local community,
we should have no problem installing and supporting one new computer lab per month. If you are interested in finding out more, call
the name and number below and ask him about the 'COMPUTER 4 KIDZ' Network. If you are in the computer business and would like to
donate some time, we would definately like to talk with you. Remember, all funds go directly to the Computers 4 kidz program.
No overhead is used and most centers will support both kids and many Senior Programs. Give us a call to find out how you can help.
