The Licking County Computer Society (LCCS) was founded in 1985 as the Newark Area Computer Club and incorporated in 1988 as a non-profit organization. The purpose was to bring together local personal computer enthusiasts to further computer education and understanding. We meet in a congenial atmosphere where users of personal computers may exchange ideas and information on existing hardware and software. In 2015 the organization decided to expand its service area and its scope regarding technology. So it changed the name to the East-Central Ohio Technology Users Club (ECOTUC). It will continue doing legal business as the Licking County Computer Society (LCCS). All payments to the club should be made payable to: Licking County Computer Society or LCCS.

Our club’s main meeting, which is held at 2:30 p.m. on the third Sunday of each month (unless the third Sunday is a major holiday such as Father’s Day in June), features speakers who are computer industry representatives and/or knowledgeable enthusiasts. The public is cordially invited. May’s Program Meeting presentation is “All About YouTube”. Join us.
The ECOTUC/LCCS Recycling Event was held on April 11th and 12th. Here were the details.
The recycling event was a huge success, thanks to all the organizations and individuals that stopped by and dropped off their unwanted electronics. We saved tons of waste that might have ended up in the landfills.
In addition to the general meeting, special “Help Desks” meetings are held monthly to provide mutual assistance in resolving software/hardware problems and to discuss new developments. Members frequently help each other on an informal basis.
Our membership ranges from novices to experienced computer experts. Novices are especially encouraged to join our group.
ECOTUC has two important ongoing projects: Computer Refurbishing, and Computer Recycling Events. These volunteer activities are always looking for more members to help out. See the Projects page for details and contacts.
The East-Central Ohio Technology Users Club is a member of APCUG, an international association of technology and computer user groups. Information about them can be found at their official website.
