C4K- Computers for Kids

The purpose of C4K is to receive donated computers, refurbish them and donate them to needy kids.

Students must demonstrate to their teachers that they will put the computer to good use for their

education. Non-Rotary volunteers work each Saturday to ensure the computers are in good working

order and loaded with up-to-date software. The chairmen of C4K, Roger Gudenkauf and Garth Godwin,

work with volunteer 7:10 Rotarians to clean and organize the computers. About once a month there is

a distribution of computers to local students. 

Rotarians clean computers.                      Student picks up her own computer.

Anyone is able to contribute a computer to C4K. Local government and business entities contribute 

 a number of modern computers. There is a minimum system requirement for donating a 

computer. Listed below are those minimum specs:

        --Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 2 Ghz  processor or greater

        --Keyboard and Mouse

Beyond that, we don't require, but would prefer:

        --512MB Ram

        --40 Gigabyte or greater Hard Disk

        --CD-Drive, preferably CDRW/DVD drive

        --Working monitor (working is important as the monitors  are becoming too expensive

           to recycle)
