HelpingTulsa

Tulsa Computer Society
From the August, 2004 issue of the I/O Port Newsletter
In July we distributed 71 computers and monitors:
- We provided 11 computers (with the Children image)
and monitors to the Tulsa Dream Center.
Cynthia Lozier had prepared a proposal to try to get the computers donated, and was
searching Tech Soup to try to identify someplace to
send her proposal when she ran across
our entry in their database, and she was excited to see that we were in Tulsa.
She called me to see how she could present her proposal, and I told her she could bring it
with her when she came to pick up the computers. She said she started dancing around her
husband shouting "we got the computers" and he wondered what had happened to her,
but she quickly recovered and came over with an associate to pick up the computers.
I think she would have been happy just to get the computers, and then she would have started
to try to find software to put on them, but she was extremely happy to
learn that our Children image had
educational programs for grades 1 through 6, and she was overjoyed to learn that it also had
two copies of the Bible (KJV and NIV) and a number of Bible Research Tools.

(5 with the Children image
and 15 with the Bible image) and monitors
