Post Survey Followup

September 4, 2020 By Ken Van Swearingen


August 18, 2020


From the Board of Tellico Village Computer Users Club

Dear TVCUC Members,

We want to thank all who responded to the Member Survey taken last week. The Club has 1,279 members and 333 (26.0%) of you took the survey. We are very pleasantly surprised that so many of you responded and offered hundreds of suggestions.

The major conclusion we have drawn is the TVCUC provides significant value to the Members and must be continued. The Technology Access Program (TAP), First Level Support (FLS) and Education are by far the most valued services the Club offers.


Many offered kind words of support, guidance, and thanks. Fully digesting the feedback from hundreds of comments will take some time. We will provide a full summary of the survey results at the next meeting of the TVCUC and make them available on our website.


We appreciate the feedback and will use the data to develop better ways to provide value to you.


We deeply appreciate those of you who indicated that you are willing to help the TVCUC! We have developed an action plan to contact everyone who expressed a willingness to volunteer over the next couple of weeks.


At this time, we cannot hold General Meetings or have our monthly “Meet FLS” in their old format as the pandemic continues to drive how we all operate. Survey results indicated that Virtual Meetings are acceptable as an alternative. We are considering alternatives on how best to proceed using webinar technology for meetings. We will keep you informed of our progress with News Flashes, the Monthly News Letter, Facebook, and on our TVCUC Website.

TAP Performance Update

August 3, 2020 By Ken Van Swearingen

The TVCUC Technology Access Program (TAP) efforts continue during the COVID-19 restrictions. In fact, since January this year, TAP has delivered an additional 652 computer systems as of May 20th. Moreover, schools and agencies receiving the TAP systems reported so far this year that an additional 960 youths are benefiting from the delivered computer systems.

  • Total Computer Systems delivered since TAP inception: 7,909
  • Total Youths Helped: 11,820

And we can be certain that the number of youths helped will increase in the coming months, because schools and agencies have yet to report the number of youths assisted by 137 computer systems already delivered.

All of our public Meetings, including Meet FLS, are cancelled until further notice.
Our FLS Team can still provide help via phone or remote-control software, but will not make in house calls.
As soon as the facilities we use are returned to being available and it is generally deemed safe by the CDC for people to meet in groups as before, we will resume our functions.
For information regarding Tours please check TOURS
At this time, we would like to remind everyone to follow the guidelines set by the CDC.
