[Brian Duggan]

This could be a great volunteer project for us. Some people have
already expressed interest in fixing some computers at the Danville
prison.

Dear friends of EJP,

We're seeking someone with experience in setting up printer drivers
and similar tasks for a 3-hour stint of laptop maintenance in our
Resource Room at the prison.

We have a lab of 15 PC laptops at  Danville that students use to write
papers and work on Excel documents.  Lately, some of the machines are
not connecting to the printer as they should and others have developed
software issues.  Unfortunately, none of the current RR team are
computer experts.  If YOU are, we could use your help!

With the commute to Danville factored in, it's a considerable chunk of
time that we're asking for, but you'd have the satisfaction of knowing
that your technical assistance is much appreciated by Danville
students and tutors, and our undying thanks.

Please email Simon and Nathan, EJP's Resource Room Coordinators, cc'd
above, if you're able to offer your assistance.  It takes about two
weeks to arrange clearance for a visit to the prison, so the week of
spring break might be perfect for scheduling this task.

Thank you!

Best,
Rebecca
