The first of four nights of a free weekly computer class for seniors was filled to capacity. A big thank you to MEI Schools IT Support Tim Lewis and his assistants for a fantastic job of teaching and coaching!

Due to a high level of interest in the course, we’re offering another set of classes in November / December, over the course of 4 THURSDAYS (November 10, 17, 24, and December 1, 2017). [Update: These sessions have been filled]
