The document promotes joining the Computer Club by highlighting several benefits: making new friends; learning how to productively debate and work with others; learning how to fix computers; participating in an extracurricular activity; learning social networking safety; finding a judgment-free environment; and learning computer skills. Members are expected to help with fundraisers, debate topics weekly, and may have their computers fixed for free by the club. The first meeting date and a link to the club blog are provided at the end.

1. COMPUTER CLUB!
-Why you should join 

2. MAKE NEW FRIENDS!!!
 We hope that you learn a thing or too as well, but what we want
the most is for everyone to meet new people.
 Don’t sequester yourself off with just your best friends that you
knew before you started the club
 Branch out! I guarantee there is someone in the club that you
haven’t met that if you give them a chance will become one of
your close friends.
We aren’t asking you to hold
hands with everyone and sing
around the campfire. Just
make new buddies!

3. LEARN HOW TO PRESENT ARGUMENTS PRODUCTIVELY
 In Computer Club, we do like to have fun but we also want you to be
well spoken
 We often have debates on whether certain trends would be good or
bad for the economy, which computers will become more popular
and why, etc.
 Each week you are asked to prepare an argument on one side or the
other and two people will be chosen; you never know who the two
people will be so you always need to be prepared.

4. LEARN HOW TO WORK WITH OTHER PEOPLE!
 We will do many fundraisers throughout the year.
 They are not going to be individual; but EVERYONE will be
required to pitch in.
 If everyone follows the rules we can make it a fun experience!

5. TO LEARN HOW TO FIX YOUR COMPUTER!
 Whenever your computer gets a virus, you can bring it in to
our club and we will tell you what’s wrong with it and how to fix
it to the best of our ability
• That’s a bonus over just taking it to a regular repair shop
because our way is free! But only if you join the club!
• Then, if you pay attention; you’ll know how to fix it yourself
from that time on!

6. JOIN AN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY!
 Most parents push their kids to join some kind of
club, sport, or activity
 They do this because it is a fact that kids involved
in some sort of extracurricular are less likely to get
in trouble!

7. LEARN SAFETY ON SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES
 You need to be careful on sites like Facebook,
Twitter, etc.
 Don’t give out any personal info!
 Join the club for more tips!
Conversation on a social networking site:

8. IT’S A PLACE TO COME WHERE YOU WON’T BE JUDGED
 Here we promise that no one will make fun of
anyone.
 You don’t have to worry about being yourself
 We don’t care if……
You are…
Or anything in between…
OR
You’re “all that”
