WHEN: May 20 - 21, 1995 (Saturday and Sunday)

WHERE: MACSA's New San Jose Youth Center
660 Sinclair, San Jose, CA
The Mexican American Community Services Agency, Inc, MACSA,
a United Way Agency, the largest Hispanic based community service
agency in Santa Clara County, will be having its second Computer
Fixin Faire. The Fixin Faire will be at MACSA's new Youth Center
on May 20-21 from 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM.
What is the purpose of the Faire? The Faire is intended to make
operational as many PC computers as possible so that they can be
distributed to the youth that are supported by MACSA.
Why have the Faire? Since the first Computer Fixin Faire, in
October, 1994, we have received a tremendous outpouring of
support in the form of donations. Some of the donated equipment
requires a little tweaking to make it operational, still others
require a little more work. What we want is to have every donated
computer that we can operational. Once we have the computers
operational we will distribute the computers to our kids so
that they can use them in their homes. We will distribute the
computers so that the kids can use them to do homework. We will
distribute the computers so that the kids can learn about
computers.
How can you help? There are two ways that you can help. The
first, if you have any computers or computer related equipment,
like any of the following:
Printers Color monitors
Printer Cables Video Cards
Printer ribbons IBM PCs
Modems Hard Disks (MFM, RLL)
Second, if you have an interest in helping to make the computers
operational. If you have an interest in anything from "board
swapping" to software installation we can use your help. Any help
you give will help us help our kids.
If you can help us with either of these two things, please call
to let us know. People to contact are:
