"Switched on Seniors online is a great experience for me. I can connect with other people and enjoy a learning experience during the guest presentations. And the helpful tech tips have really made me comfortable using Zoom."
"I have Zoomed into every SOS meeting and have learned something new in everyone of theses sessions. Be it Technical, Local History, Safety tips and even some great games. I think the best part of these Zoom get togethers is the Socializing with other Seniors and hearing what everyone is doing with their time during this Pandemic.
What a great time for getting together, and the Co-ordinator Gerard Jattan has spent a lot of time pulling the programs together and hosts the meeting with a great sensor of humour."
