| Quarter Break |
|
Hi everyone! I hope you've all had a great weekend so far.
Congratulations to our first quarter course graduates! I hope you are all proud of your accomplishments.
Our regularly-scheduled in-person tech classes will be on break for the next few weeks, but fitness classes — Stronger Bones, Balance/Strength, and Line Dancing — will continue at the Senior Planet center in Plattsburgh!
We encourage you to visit us at the center during the break to use a computer, exercise, and meet up with friends. Interested in one-to-one tech help? Sessions are available (by appointment only) on Fridays from 10:30am – 4:00pm.
To inquire about tech help, or for any questions or comments, please email us at [email protected], or call the toll-free Senior Planet hotline at 888-713-3495.
See you at the center!
