On Thursday, July 21, Connect Ohio presented Louise Beldon of Archbold with a new laptop computer at Northwest State Community College (NWSCC). Beldon was the ninth of twelve winners to receive a new computer after being chosen in a random drawing following her participation in the Every Citizen Online (ECO) program.
“I was just ready to buy a new desktop computer because mine is old,” said Beldon, when notified that she had won a new computer. “I enjoyed the (training) class. I like to use the Internet to read e-mail, play computer games, and look up recipes. I want to learn Facebook and other websites.”
"Louise was a very good student,” said Clint Parry, community computer skills instructor with NWSCC. “She had used computers a little before taking the class. Now, she’ll be able to keep practicing at home with a brand new one!"
“It’s great to see how taking an ECO class can make a big difference for a student like Louise, and seeing her win a computer has made us even more exited about the classes that we continue to offer,” said Ben Armstrong, NWSCC library supervisor.
