Join us on Wednesday, October 27, at 11 AM for a session with a long-time Sammamish resident who is a technology instructor on PC and mobile use. Since people are likely to have a variety of questions, he would like you to email them in advance. This will give him a chance to make sure he has good answers as he may not necessarily be familiar with every subject about computers. This will be a Q&A session to help with the particular problem(s) that you are dealing with. Of course, some will be unanswerable and will require much more in-depth conversations but he will at least take care of the ones he can. For the zoom link and to submit your questions, please contact SammamishSeniors@gmail.com.
