E-mail for Dummies first in the series

The City of Overland has announced a new series of personal computer classes for citizens. "It is our hope to use the expertise of the city employees and the city council to benefit the citizens of Overland" stated Mayor Ann Purzner when introducing the subject in a city press release.

The first class to be offered in the series will be E-Mail for Dummies led by 3rd Ward Council Member and "Reduced to Writing" master, Ken Owensby. "I wish they would have gone with my first choice in a name, E-Mail for Liars," recounted Owensby via phone. "But, our marketing expert, Mark Brown, thought the current name reflected his opinion of Overland residents."

Highlights of the 2-hour course include:

Add Punch to Your E-mails: Make people sit up and take notice of your e-mail with phrases such as:
--by order of the Mayor
--comply or be investigated
--President Bush said to tell you this

Commerce and Communication: Don't be afraid to make a little money by adding advertisement for your personal business. Owensby's personal examples include:
--See me for your next assault rifle purchase
-- KO for AK47s

All classes will be held in the Overland Community Center which is adjacent to the Overland City Hall.
