US FCU Helps Schools With PCs

April 18, 2005, 1:00 a.m. EDT 1 Min Read

Following the bursting of a pipe at Farmington Middle School West that damaged the school's entire computer lab, US Federal Credit Union has donated 40 computer systems to replace those ruined by the water and flooding. The donation was the result of USFCU employee Jon Hallberg, Director of Network Telecom Services who saw a televised news report of the incident and contacted the school. As the school closed for the day to allow clean-up, Hallberg discussed details with principal Dr. Steven Geis. School officials have been preparing to install the computers and expect to have them ready for students to use during April.
