NEW NAME

Hi everyone. After operating our “Computer Club” for many years, we have decided to change the name to COMPUTER TUTOR. The reason? We didn’t want people to think we were a “club” only open to members. In fact, we are open to anyone who wants to drop in and get a little help with their computers, tablets, iPads, or phones. We aren’t changing anything else: You will find us in the Key Room (top floor Inspire Learning Centre) from 10 until noon every second Monday. Next dates are: Jan. 27, Feb. 10 and 24, March 16 and 30, and April 6 and 20. It's very informal. You can drop in for a few minutes with a specific question, OR you can hang out with us for the two hours. Either way, we hope to see you! Thanks, Gloria.

The Recovery Village: Seniors Help with Substance Abuse

I received this link to a website through an email from an organization called The Recovery Village, which is an American organization dedicated to helping seniors struggling with substance abuse.    There is some very good information on the website.    Please note, however, that telephone numbers and their locations are in the U.S.     You can Google them at:
