The Club began in 1983, when Len Point had a problem with his computer and could not find ready answers. He gathered together the few local "experts" at that time, as sort of a mutual aid society. Club members took turns offering their homes as sites for the monthly meetings.

As the PC became more popular, the Club grew and moved to ever-larger quarters over the years. In 1988, it became affiliated with the Sun City Center Community Association. Later it incorporated and was granted 501(c)(3), by the IRS as a tax-exempt educational organization.

Today, the Club holds a monthly program meeting in the Florida room at the Atrium building at 7:30 PM on the First Wednesday each month. In addition, Special Interest Groups, which, as the term indicates, specialize in unique aspects of Personal Computing, meet during the month in separate meetings to concentrate on their interests. These groups include those specializing in Genealogy, Quicken, Internet, and Digital Imaging. Others are added when there is a demand.

In 1993, as the result of solid planning and a fortuitous grant, a permanent Computer Learning Center was established in the Kings Point Clubhouse. Subsequently, it moved to its present location in the SCC Atrium Building. Annually, the Club trains hundreds of local residents in various aspects of Personal Computing.

Today, the Club membership stands at about 1,000 families from both Sun City Center and Kings Point. In addition to being one of the largest clubs in Sun City Center, it is believed to be one of the largest PC User Groups in Florida. As the PC continues to gain an ever-growing cadre of users, it is expected that The Computer Club will continue to expand, as it fulfills its mission of "Education, Information and Service to the computer community of Sun City Center."
