Hi everyone, I hope you've all had a great week!
Are you curious about what smartphones can do, and why they’ve grown so popular?
Senior Planet in New York City will be hosting an in-person class called Smartphones at a Glance on Monday, March 20 at 3:00pm EDT.
You’ll learn about popular smartphones on the market and some of their pros and cons. We’ll also compare and contrast two of the most popular operating systems: Android and Apple’s iOS.

Free Nutrition Counseling
|
|
 The Virtual Smart Living Initiative at the NYC Department for the Aging is offering FREE virtual individual nutrition counseling sessions with a Nutritionist.
From the convenience of their own homes or from the centers they attend, older New Yorkers can easily connect with a Nutritionist over video to learn how to make better food choices, based on their personal needs.
And to top it off, participants can receive a free nutrition educational item for attending their first session to encourage them to continue eating healthy. Free language interpreter services are available for clients who prefer to receive nutrition counseling in a language other than English.
