When computers and microchips roll over to the year 2000 some of the critical systems we depend on may malfunction. Services which could experience disruptions include electrical power, water, food delivery, transportation, finance, communication, and fuels. Concerned citizens and organizations are invited to attend one of the following workshops to learn what you can do to assist your community.
