Opening of Internet Cafe

Be Heard members had placed "access to computers" high on their list of priorities as the group was starting up in 2007.  After procuring funding for four networked computers, the Be Heard Internet Cafe opened it's doors in the spring of 2008.  Be Heard members are free to stop in to check email, use the internet, play computer games, watch a DVD, or sit an chat with friends over a tea and interesting website.
