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! |

Thursday, February 16th Please join us at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, 143 Main St. N. from 10:00 - 11:30 am. **Please arrive 5-10 minutes early to hang coats and find a comfortable seat. Thank you! Topic: Card Shark Thursday Did you know that card games improve 'Memory and Cognition?' As our ability to remember is something that we do not really have full control of, playing card games can help you, at least, train your brain to memorize better. Card games usually require you to memorize the flow of the game, and sometimes need you to be able to recall something that happened in the short term. By playing such games often, your brain becomes accustomed to the exercise which helps to keep your memory and mind sharp. These games can also help you in the long run, as they can possibly reduce the risk of developing dementia conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. Come have some fun, learn and meet new friends as we engage in activities. We offer refreshments/snacks and a friendly laugh or two! 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 Instagram or TikTok?) **At the present time masks are NOT mandatory at our gatherings, but they are strongly encouraged to help keep you healthy and safe!

Thursday, February 23rd Please join us at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, 143 Main St. N. from 10:00 - 11:30 am. **Please arrive 5-10 minutes early to hang coats and find a comfortable seat. Thank you! Topic: Gentle Stretch and Strengthen Chair Yoga with 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! **Please note that this 'free' class will run on the last Thursday of each month so pencil it into your calendar! Remember that consistency is the key to a stronger YOU!
