Senior Technology Fair
6/6/2016 -

Representative Avery Bourne (R-Raymond) is inviting Senior Citizens from the area to attend a free Senior Technology Fair on Monday, June 6th from 3 to 5 p.m. in Staunton.  The event will be held at the VFW in Staunton, which is located at 120 East Henry Street.

The event, sponsored by State Representative Bourne, will feature experts from AT&T, who will discuss how wireless technologies like smart phones and computers can help seniors manage prescriptions, pay bills, and allow them to stay connected with loved ones.

“I hope to see area seniors take advantage of this event,” said Bourne. “Through this partnership with AT&T, they can learn about new technology and have their questions answered by professionals.”

Navigating the internet can seem intimidating to someone who has never used it as a resource before.  With everything from personal health records to nursing home quality ratings moving online, senior citizens benefit from being computer literate.  The purpose of this event is to assist seniors with the ability to find this information and thus give them more knowledge and independence.

Registration is required, as seating is limited. Those who wish to attend may register by calling Bourne’s district office at (217) 324-5200.
