Miami Lakes Elderly Affairs Committee will host the first ever Technology Forum for Seniors from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, January 9, at the Mary Collins Community Center, 15151 N.W. 82 Avenue.
Seniors will learn about the advantages of smartphones and how to navigate Apple and Android products. Participants will also learn how to use social media apps such as Facebook, Skype and FaceTime.
Seniors will be introduced to the Town’s mobile app, Lakes Life, and ride sharing apps like Uber.
The Town and the committee believe that staying connected to love ones and staying engaged within their communities is vital to the continued wellness of senior citizens.
Students interested in volunteering at the Technology Forum to earn community service hours are asked to contact Special Events and Committees coordinator Clarisell De Cardenas at 305-512-7133, or via email at decardenasc@miamilakes-fl.gov.
