COMPUTING FOR SENIORS!
Our Computer Club, under the guidance of Bob Hedenberg and his dedicated executive committee volunteers, provides a great computing service to our members at the Aurora Seniors’ Centre. As Bob informs us, technology continues to move very fast and we all struggle to keep up with the changes. He advises our members to take a look at our Tuesday morning meeting topics and if they don’t see the technology topics there that they want to learn more about let the team know and they will do their best to cover them.
Remaining Computer Sessions in September are as follows:

Tuesday, September 30: You hear more and more about the “cloud”. You know it has something to do with keeping some of your data elsewhere rather than on your PC. So, where is it? How safe is it? How much does it cost? Herb has the answers. Come see what it is all about.

Computer Drop-in Sessions: Tuesdays 1.30 to 3.30 p.m.

These sessions are run weekly, every Tuesday, with the intent that any member who is looking for any kind of technical help can come by and we will try our best to assist. All the help we provide is covered by your $1 daily activity fee.
The Aurora Seniors Association website at www.auroraseniors.ca is your best source for information about any of our programs or use one of the email addresses below. Your suggestions and comments about what you might like the Computer Club to do are always welcome. Come talk with us or send your suggestions to asacc@auroraseniors.ca
