| A Note from Noah |
| Hi everyone,
I hope you’re having a great week! Are you curious about what smartphones can do and why they’ve grown so popular?
Join us on Wednesday, February 8 at 10:00am EST for an in-person lecture called “Smartphones at a Glance.” If you have general questions about smartphones, or are unsure what kind to purchase, we hope to see you at White Oak Senior Center for this insightful session!
Have a great weekend,
