The technologies used in today's communications networks are complex and sometimes difficult to understand. When technology vendors explain their products, they usually require their audience to be technology savvy, so they can quickly get to the specific advantages featured in their products. The rest of us are left behind wondering what language they are speaking... The Madera Tech Team will author plain English technical info pages that make sense of all the technologies that will eventually be deployed in your offices and at home.

Pacific Bell donates $1,000 to the Madera Tech Team.

September 2002 — The Madera Tech Team received a $1,000 grant from SBC Pacific Bell to further computer education to Maderans. The Madera Chamber of Commerce created the Madera Tech Team almost a year ago because it badly needed a Technology Committee. The Madera Tech Team was created as a resource for all Madera businesses and residents. One of the goals of the committee is to increase computer related knowledge for all Maderans. The team aims to increase the awareness of the availability of local technical resources and to increase the visibility of Madera-based technology related businesses. Local businesses and individuals no longer have to go to Fresno to get trained or get their computer systems serviced or repaired. The Madera Tech Team is here for you!

SBC’s Cheryl Rudd is seen here handing the grant check to new Tech Team Committee Chair Frederic Martin of Workingarts Marketing and Chamber of Commerce Past President Wally Nishimoto of the Bridge Store. Frederic and Wally have been the driving force behind the Madera Tech Team.

To learn more about the Madera Tech Team, its members and to inquire on available courses, please call the Madera Chamber of Commerce at 559-673-3563 or go to the Tech Team’s website at http://workingarts.com/techteam.

Since February 5, 2002, AT&T Broadband has started to offer broadband internet access via cable modems to the City of Madera. Maderans can now race around the internet at reasonable speed. For information on availability, contact your AT&T broadband local representative. Their phone number is on your cable bill and in the phone book. Welcome to the 21st Century!

The Madera Tech Team will soon use a message board as its interface with the public (linked from the Madera Chamber of Commerce's website).
