NARFE Meeting Presentation
At the March meeting of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, Chapter 304.
Twenty-nine attendees at the meeting learned from guest Ken Grundberg, how a local group, Motor City Free Geek, is dedicated to the repair and distribution of computers, responsible recycling of electronic waste and teaching of free and open source software. If you have computers or cell phones to discard, bring them to Harvey Somers who will see that Motor City Free Geek gets them. All personal data will be removed before the equipment is refurbished and distributed.
