Our General meetings cover a wide range of subjects. Typically, such a meeting will involve the some general PCS business or the distribution of information concerning up-coming meetings and other opportunities in the local community. As warranted, there will be discussion regarding the latest computer security threats, new products and other items of interest to the membership. Often some of our members give presentations about subjects in which they have some specialized knowledge. For example, Phil Ball's Windows Tips 'n' Tricks is a constant crowd pleaser. Recently, we have had other members give talks and demonstrations about backup techniques, GPS equipment and virus and spyware removal. In addition, some of our speakers are provided by the AZACC (Arizona Alliance of Computer Clubs). Often these individuals represent commercial enterprises and demonstrate new hardware and software for your consideration. While some of these speakers obviously have their business interests in mind, their presentations are related to our mission and our members are often presented with significant discounts should they wish to purchase the products.
We don't forget the social niceties at PCS either. Once a year we get together for a social meeting and have a picnic! The most recent one was held at a ramada at Willow Lake. There's usually a short presentation followed by a pot-luck feast that always seems to fill everyone completely.
