classes at our learning center in downtown <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place

between 24 and 36 hours of hands-on computer training with one of our GCF<sup>®</sup>
instructors. Since many of you work with Triangle residents who are looking
for a way to learn beginning computer skills, I thought that this news may be
of interest to you. And since so many kids are away at camp right now, this is
the perfect window of opportunity for parents to get involved. Please take a
few minutes to read the following media release announcing these new classes:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
