Attleboro Senior receive computer training - During the week of April 19-23, members of the Attleboro Senior Center were recipients of Computer training sponsored by the Denver Chapter. The Chapter was approached by the Director for the Council on Aging in Attleboro and they felt it was a sound educational project to spend their money on. In addition, over 5000 flyers in their newsletter went out to area seniors identifying Verizon Pioneers as the sponsor of the training.        

 Deb Foley attended the session on April 21 which was held at the Bristol Community College campus in Attleboro. Deb showed everyone how to access the Verizon Pioneers and Denver Chapter websites.

When Deb introduced Thinkfinity ®, she was surprised to find out that the instructor, Tricia Svendsen,  was a certified Thinkfinity ® facilitator.

A new Thinkfinity® networking relationship has developed as a result of this chance encounter.    

 The Council on Aging had such an overwhelming response to the training that they have 25 seniors in waiting and are looking for additional funding. They will be submitting a Verizon Foundation grant to fund this as an on-going offering to the senior community.    pictured - Madeline McNeille (far left) and Tricia Svendsen (middle) assist the students in accessing the Verizon Pioneer and Thinkfinity® websites.   submitted by Deb Foley
