Hi everyone! I hope you've all had a great weekend so far.
Have you heard of WhatsApp? It's a popular app that lets you send messages to friends and family all over the world.
Senior Planet in the North Country will be hosting an interactive workshop all about WhatsApp on Monday, March 13 at 12:00pm EDT at the Senior Planet center in Plattsburgh.
Join us to learn how to download WhatsApp, and practice sending messages and photos to your contacts. You’ll also learn how to make a voice or a video call. Please bring your own smartphone to this workshop.

See you at the center!
