(Above) The third annual Capt. Charles Barham Chapter scholarship was awarded to Cody James Hunter at our meeting on June 17, 2015. Cody has been involved in many school activities including playing on the high school football team during which time the team won the state championship two times. He has many hours of community service and is currently working at Dinkins Mobile Homes. He will attend UT Knoxville and plans to be a civil engineer. Pictured here is Cody with Chapter Secretary Suzanne Richter, chairman of the Chapter Scholarship Committee.

Chapter and State Technology Chairman Mary Ann Claxton presented an informative program about computer file extensions (the .doc or .jpg, or .pdf at the end of a computer file name) and why they are important in our everyday communication. File extensions tell a computer what program to use to open the file, and if your computer doesn't have a program that will open a particular file extension (like a .docx file for computers before Windows 7), then your computer will say it doesn't know what program to use to open the file. There was much discussion about how to avoid this. The best solution is using "save as" and choosing a more common file extension instead of just clicking save and letting the computer choose for you. Using this process and saving as a .pdf file assures that any other machine can open the file.
