Drop in to see what’s happening; but once you come, we know you will be back! You can even bring another activity, like knitting, to do while interacting with the group. When possible, tools will be provided and shared, depending on the activity and the number of participants.
Participating in creative activities has been shown to improve our cognitive skills and create a confident and optimistic attitude.

Let’s explore how to use your technology! Come help us develop this group which will meet at the Paige … participants will choose when to meet and what the topics will be. If you have a laptop or iPad, bring it.
