About the Club

The Fresno Commodore User Group is a club whose members share an interest in Commodore computers. We meet at 11:00 a.m., the third Sunday of the month, at Panera Bread, 3590 West Shaw at Marty in Fresno (NE corner) (click here for map). The meetings generally include demonstrations, discussion, and individual help. Time and location are subject to change; please send Email to confirm specific dates.

Dues are $12 for 12 months. New members receive a "New Member Disk" containing a number of useful utilities. Members receive a subscription to our newsletter, The Interface; access to a public domain disk library, technical assistance, and reduced prices on selected hardware and software.

The Interface is sent to our members and other Commodore Clubs on an exchange basis. Clubs publishing newsletters with informative content are encouraged to add us to their mailing list.

Our disk library contains over 2000 public domain programs for the C64 and C128. Members are entitled to copies of these disks at no cost if a blank disk is provided. We do not deal with pirated, violent or obscene programs. Please call our attention to any programs found in our library which may violate these standards.
