bit about the program and demonstrate some of the fun learning software that comes loaded on the
LATCH computers. The demonstrations would be only 15 minutes and we ask our volunteers to do 3- 6
demonstrations in one day. We are willing to offer a stipend of $20 per 15 minutes demonstration. You do
not have to be a tech geek to help us, we just need someone who knows a little bit about computers and
