We are committed to making life a little less lonely for isolated seniors.
One of the ways that we want to help is to get seniors comfortable with basic technology. We want to help you to stay in touch with family and friends, access programs and services available online, and find information quickly and efficiently. Our weekly meetings, this web site, and our newsletters are there to help you feel more connected to your community, and give you a place to learn & have fun at the same time. Remember it's FREE, there are never any charges or cost to you to be a Switched-on Senior! |

Topic: Video: 'The Queen and the Skipper, The Story of Bluenose' with speaker Art Wootten The Bluenose was the fastest deep-water fishing schooner ever to sail the Grand Banks. For nearly 2 decades she dominated the International Fishermen's Trophy races. Even well past her prime, and against a younger schooner - the best the American shipyards could produce - Bluenose set a world record for speed. It was her final race and her finest. This is the story, not only of the Queen but of her Captain, a man named Angus Walters. For 22 years, they faced every new challenger and beat them all. But in the end, it was age and economics that defeated them. The spirit of Bluenose still inspires Canadians. We all carry a picture of her in our pockets, etched on the back of the Canadian dime. It's an image of a time when the world acknowledged a Lunenburg schooner as the Queen of the North Atlantic. In addition, each week we will be offering in-person technology support from 11:00 to 11:30 a.m. for anyone with tech. questions (perhaps how to use Facebook, write an email, share photos, use Google, download an app, or maybe you are curious about YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok?)

Thank you! Topic: Gentle Stretch and Strengthen Chair Yoga with 500 Hour, Certified Yoga Teacher, Christina DeFranco In gentle yoga, you may do standing postures (holding on to a chair), forward bends, and low-impact backbends, in addition to seated stretches. Chair yoga can help you feel stronger, increase your flexibility, loosen and stretch painful muscles, reduce chronic pain, decrease pain, and improve balance and circulation. These exercises help to reduce risk factors and improve mobility as we age! Remember that mobility is our ability to move freely and easily which is vital to living an independent, healthy life! Remember that consistency is the key to a stronger YOU! Plus Zoom tips, brain games, trivia, jokes, tech info, and more! |
