Computer Classes
Instruction in the use of computers is offered by volunteers from the Geek Squad. This program enables seniors who have no experience with computers to explore their mysteries and learn basic operating skills, and for those who want to improve their knowledge to learn how to use specific programs. Class size is limited to four participants to allow for hands-on learning and individual instruction.

Presentations
Each month a variety of presentations are made on topics of interest and importance to seniors, including financial planning, reverse mortgages, healthy living, writing, gardening, and birding. The main focus of these programs is to provide education and enrichment. (See Calendar for monthly Schedule of Events)

Library
Our comfortable, well-lit library has a range of books and periodicals on everything from health topics and retirement planning to architecture, travel and American history. All titles have been chosen because they are of special interest to seniors, whether for practical information for daily living or for general interest and enjoyment. We also keep copies of legislation in Congress that impacts seniors. Several Civic Council programs are active in promoting seniors' concerns regarding some of these laws. Finally, we provide contact information for local public and private services offered to seniors, from pro-bono professional services to retirement homes and healthcare programs.

Zambia Hope
A unique program of the Seniors Resource Center is partnering with Zambia Hope International, an organization that is assisting some of Zambia's 1.25 million children orphaned by HIV/AIDS (see ZambiaHope.org for details about the organization and its programs). Seniors are invited to partner with children, corresponding with them, and generally encouraging them to seek education and succeed in life. Both seniors and orphans benefit from this bond of friendship. The Zambia Hope staff prepares profiles of the children under its care. The children's profiles are kept at the SRC and are presented online as well. (See ZambiaHope.org for more information as to how you can make a difference in the lives of these children)
