Computer Sale by TAP

January 9, 2021 By David Leaman

Need a New Computer?

How about a desktop or laptop PC that has been completely refurbished by the TVCUC Technology Access Program (TAP)?

At the beginning of each year we are allowed to sell a limited number of the systems refurbished by TAP but they sell out very quickly. For a fraction of the cost of a new computer you can have one that runs like new. And the best part – what you pay goes toward funding more refurbished computers that are repurposed to needy youth and folks who might not otherwise have a computer.

Contact the TAP Group at:
244 Lakeside Plaza in Tellico Village
(in same building as Thai Bistro, around back)
Phone: (865) 332-5313

2020 Member Survey

November 18, 2020 By David Leaman

The Board of Directors has compiled the results of our member survey and to say we were surprised would be an understatement. You told us what you liked, didn’t like, and what you wanted more of.

As a direct result of your participation in this survey, we are diligently working on changing the Tellico Village Computer Users Club (TVCUC) to be more services-oriented in First Level Support (FLS), the Technology Access Program (TAP) and Education.

We are going forward with a new Board of Directors and with better direction and focus regarding the needs and desires of our members. We have maintained the strong financial position that our grant givers want to see in making sure we are a fiscally responsible organization in which they can invest. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to our grant writers. Without their tireless efforts we would never have been able to provide so many computer systems to the thousands of youths we’ve helped. We plan to continue serving our members and expanding our service within our community.

Only with your support, both financially and most importantly with your time in volunteering, can we continue. We ask for your volunteer support – it is so important to the success of your club. Remember, you don’t have to be technically inclined or be a computer geek to help. We have many volunteer positions available in education and other areas in which we need help.

Please stay safe,
Tellico Village Computer Users Club 2020 Board of Directors

Dues Notice

September 30, 2020 By David Leaman

To all members, 

The Club is facing the following challenges:

1). We are seeing an increase in requests for the systems provided by TAP (Technology Access Program). We are currently supplying nearly 100 per month.

2). Cost increases for the refurbishing supplies needed for those systems TAP is providing.

3). There is also a greatly increased need to provide support services via FLS (First Level Support) to our members.

4). There are more organizations vying for Grant Foundation money with some changing qualification requirements that we may no longer meet.

Because of this, we will no longer offer a discount for online dues payment as of 12/31/2020. 

TVCUC Annual Membership fee is $20.00 / Household Annual membership is for one calendar year, January 1through December 31. We start enrollment for the coming year on 10/1 of the current year.

Note: As of 01/01/21 accepted dues payment is Credit Card only.

Cash and Check will no longer be accepted after 12/31/20.

 We thank you for your continued support and look forward to serving you.

The TVCUC Board of Directors

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.
