ICON's monthly meeting is the 3rd Saturday of each month. The location varies, but will be listed on this page and in the monthly newsletter. The public is welcome at our meetings.

Monthly meetings (which normally last 1 l/2 to 2 hours) consist of a brief business meeting, followed by a program. Programs cover a broad range of topics, all related to computers, and may be presented by outside speakers or club members. Subsequent to the program, several laptop computers are manned by ICON volunteers who willingly answer specific questions from members.
