Active Seniors

Don’t be intimidated by technology. The Senior Center has seven computers in the computer lab and we want you to learn how to surf the net, set up a Facebook page, type a letter, play solitaire or any other thing you come up with. We have a volunteer that will work with you. You are never too old to learn how to use a computer.
