March is just around the corner, so if you’ve been busy with all the wonderful events about town these last few weeks, now is the time to learn a little more about your computer and/or that software you might not be comfortable with.. we can help.. I’ve added several new computer and technology related classes that you asked for, even expanded 3 popular topics to 12 hours instead of 8 hrs..
As always, if computers aren’t your thing, MCC has many wonderful credit and non-credit classes in a wide variety of subjects, including fitness, yoga, dance, ceramics, history, jewelry making, maintaining your motorcycle & many more...
Visit our website: www.mohave.edu ; or visit our campus at 1971 Acoma Blvd in Lake Havasu or call for more information.. Don’t forget to stop by and visit our Library at MCC and ask their staff to give you a tour and explain all the wonderful services available to you for free, including library books, using our computers to check your email or surf the web or accessing countless databases and much more..

We look forward to working with you. So sign up today and bring a friend along - Call Registration 928-855-7812 or 453-1139 and we’ll save you a seat...
Special Note-we are currently arranging several new 4 hour workshops for March and April – topic “ALL THINGS iMac” pertaining to all the Apple Mac questions many of you have raised about iPads, iPods, iPhones etc. If you are interested, be sure to email me so in turn we can notify you when the dates & times are finalized…
You are welcome to use the computers in our classroom or bring your own laptop; your choice. We do require a minimum of six (6) participants in every class (otherwise we will sadly have to postpone that class until the next scheduled class) but typically this time of the year – classes fill up very quickly, so call today….
