Tech Saturdays Info Sheet ¥ Do NOT give us money or fill out this sheet until you get selected via the lottery!

 

We at The ChildrenÕs Storefront work with the Wireless Harlem Initiative to provide free computers to Harlem families with children in grades K-12. The schedule for Tech Saturdays is on our Web site of www.techsaturdays.org or you can call our phone of 212-427-7900 ext 333.

 

To sign up, you must be a Harlem resident and get onto our Tech Saturday e-mail list. If you do not have e-mail, then you must find a friend or relative who will send an e-mail note to ts@cstorefront.org on your behalf. Your friend or relative will then get notifications and will put you into the lottery.

 

We currently have over 200 people on the waiting list and select names via a lottery system out of a hat. Once you get your confirmation number, you will be asked to bring in or mail in the $20 (cash or money order, no checks). We apologize for the delay in getting back to you via phone or traditional mail. All of us have full time jobs and are doing this on the side to help families in Harlem. The good news is that there will always be more Tech Saturdays and we hope to help out as many as we can. Please direct questions to Steve Bergen, TS@cstorefront.org and PLEASE PRINT NEATLY!
