In reply to Sonia.

That is an insightful idea. Emily is often reminding me of that sort of stuff; I often don't think that way. In this case, though, i think it's not the problem. I specifically gave them the names of a few young adults I know that have expressed interest in managing the center and are comfortable with computers. Also, in a village about 20 minutes away by foot, there is a computer committee that does exactly what I am proposing. One of our other leaders (Don Tomax) told me about it the day before the meeting, when we were chatting in my garden. So they have their neighbors as an example of success they can model.

So, I will not let them off so easily with a claim of fear, or of ignorance.
